I just recieved my racingbeat, roadrace headers and streetport center section and a acv plate. I also have a arospeed bomb muffler (Apexi wannabe) that I will have welded up.

WHat should I know before i get started.

oh also I ordered a new intake gasket because I heard they get destroyed when you remove them.

anything else.

also, my heatsheild is rusting to hell, can I take it off or is it really needed.

 

You can remove pretty much all of the heat shelds, many people do this to get rid of some extra weight..
