so im sure heat shields are on there for a reason. but just wondering. does removing the exhaust headers heat shield have any benefits like cooling the exhaust gases better? or would it have negative impacts on the engine, like heating it up more?

Don't take it off,there is reason why not. Exhaust gases are traveling faster in hot manifold than in cold!
If you don't like that ugly & rusty sheat metal, use ceramic tape and go arround runners...

ive noticed my hood is hotter after driving with my heat shield off the headers, after a long drive i poured water from a water bottle on my headers and all the water turned to smoke and my buddy thought i blew my engine

You want the exhaust to stay hot all the way out the tail pipe. Heat is energy.
The heat shield is to prevent the heat from your exhaust manifold from melting things nearby.
