Heat shield should fit back on with the downpipe installed. We don't recommend driving the car without the shield in place.

Is this a N18 motor? The heat shield didn't fit around my MarioKart DP either. I ended up taking a prybar and bend it out. It was a pain in the butt. So much that I hope I never have to take it off.
