You can, but you shouldn't unless you got something to put in its place, like exhaust wrap

It didn't rattle when it was new, so something has changed. I would keep all the shielding for the exhaust, and modify it so it doesn't rattle. Whether a bolt has loosened or it has gotten bent, it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Rotary exhaust is HOT. Those shields are there to protect other components, as well as to keep heat from transferring to the cabin. I highly recommend keeping them.

You might want to mention which heatshield, but like XLR8 mentioned, you want to keep all exhaust related heatshield on this car.
