catalytic heat shield

[Soma576@xxxx]

hey everyone,

after having my engine degreased and steam cleaned, i see that the high 
pressure steam these guys were using pretty much destroyed my already 
crumbling catalytic converter heat shield. is this thing really necessary? 
what it is shielding against? it looks like a bear to replace - any comments 
on that?

thanks
Andy
