Should I Remove My Heat Shield?

So my d15b7 has this heat shield on the exhaust manifold which I guess many engines have. From what I read I gathered that it's meant for lowering under-the-hood temperatures. Which translates to lower intake temperatures. Which in turn translates to more power. I'm thinking I should remove it because as an ecomodder I want higher intake temperatures. I would also save a fraction of a kilogram of weight. My question is are there any downsides to this?
