Removing Factory Exhaust Heat Shield

So, added a Factory Gallardo Race Exhaust, on my 2013 Gallardo Final Edition.  I really want to remove the silver exhaust heat shield around the exhaust.  The Race Exhaust is about have the size, and allot lighter.  The factory  heat shield hides the the shinny race exhaust.  Has anyone changed their exhaust and removed the heat shield?  I just want to make sure that I don't melt anything. 

Please Advise......Thanks.

Thank you, this is the kind of feedback that I am looking for. 

I have a Larini Clubsport on my 2011 LP550-2, with no heatshield and no problems.

3 lambo techs have told me you'll get more heatsoak without the shield, which translates to less power when the engine is hot. Hotter air into the airbox, = less HP.
