I run Belanger headers and exhaust, with hi-flow cats on the street, w/o cats on private roadways. I did not re-install the factory heat shields and I have never had a problem. I removed the spark plug boot factory metal heat shields as well but replaced them with a hi-temp fabric sock...
I've only spun once and that was intentionally on an auto-x course. I have never spun on a road course or the street and I do have a very spirited driving style. Go ankle deep into the go pedal like a Neanderthal, and you're likely to reverse direction. Apply prudence and track acquired...

Actually, you're right, many are over extended but they would rather eat their children than part with their Viper!
