Just cut your heatshield with a Dremmel tool, i dont recommend taking it off, but people on here will tell u its fine. I don't agree.

You should be fine. I have a friend who did. I personally think you should just leave it.

If I remember correctly doesn't the stock exhaust bolt to the heat shield? If not get the alum tape that most exhaust companies send with their exhaust.. Sticky on one side and alum heat on the other which is what my carbon Yoshi came with.. Just slap some of that stuff up there if your worried about damaging the plastic.. Bare metal muffler against all that plastic, I wouldn't recommend it..
