I'm in the process of removing as much weight off of my car as possible. It is a track car now. Can I safely remove the exhaust heat shields underneath the car? Paint or something won't catch on fire due to the heat, will it? I will KEEP the shield above the muffler (inbetween the gas tank). While I have it on the lift, any obvious things that I can also remove that I may be overlooking?

I just removed the big one that goes between the tank and stock muffler. But the muffler isn't there anymore, just tailpipes. I ran around for a week this way, then had a close look at the plastic tank for signs of heat damage. It looked fine. For the other shields, I removed those also, but sprayed the area they had been in with high-temp silver paint. I figured the paint would do kinda the same thing with a lot less weight.
