Default heat shield prob HELP!

i put some magnaflow mufflers on my gs3 and for some reason they seem to be touching the heat shields. they are causing an extemely annoying rattling sound. i have been thinking of just taking the shields off but i dont know what the consiquences of doing something like this are. can anyone give me some advice on what i should do?

you can take them off or put some dynomat on them to stop vibration

Do a straight tail pipe into your resinators, this way you can take off the heat shields, and keep them under control ;]
WTF
