Leave shields on whenever possible.

Header shield = more hp.

Cat shield = not soo damn hot.

Correct. Many cars are starting to do this, and some even have special ducting to maintain a constant stream of cool air.

Honda doesn't just randomly put stuff under the hood, it's engineered and installed for a reason.

Well, the JDM S2000 has the brake master cylinder and ABS unit on the passenger side, so it makes more sense to have the shield for that than a battery and a bunch of fuses.
