a heat shield does just that. its SUPPOSED to block some of the hot air from the engine so you get a lower temperature intake charge.

so yes you do need it.

about restricting airflow, on a car thats not boosted its not enough to make any difference.

Why would you need it? My Weapon R intake is closer to the motor then on an Injen setup. I don't think that you would need the heat shield on.
