Where I live they don't do emissions testing, just a look and see to see if you have cats. The cat is not damamged, but it may not pass inspection because the heat sheild is suposed to protect things under the car, such as if you were to park on some dry leaves or something.
Anyway, I still have the heat sheild, and looking at it, I can probably pound it back into shape. It was only held on by 4 small welds so I don't think it will be to big of a deal to get it re-installed.
