Got a question: After removing the GHL headers, I held up the new old-style headers for hit. On the driver's side, where the header goes forward and folds upward a bit, it hits a piece of sheet metal at the front of the engine. This specific piece seems separate from what goes around the engine and looks like it would just come off easily, but is there a specific purpose for this?

The real question is: should I take it off or cut away the part where the header would hit it? The sheet metal is marked by the arrow in the photo below.
