Yes it's necessary to trim the heatshield. It's right above the mufflers at the very rear of the car. It's very easy. I used a pair of snips I had in my toolbox, if you don't have a set they're not very expensive (if you have a Harbor Freight Tools near you they sell them cheap). The shield is very thin metal, even a pair of heavy shop scissors would get the job done.
