They are fixed there permanently, you can bend it out of the way or cut it off.

I'm with Dan there is style in this little out of the way heat shield. Style is something that is there adding value subtly, not individual objects in your face, so showing off an exhaust muffler/mufflers is individualizing a component away from the beauty of the overall design.

Nope I prefer the grilled look too.

Thing is once it is gone it's not very simple to return to the original look
