Heat shield falling apart
So the heat shield above my torque tube is falling apart.. don't know if I should be worried about it? I was thinking about removing it but I wasn't to sure. Any suggestions?
Has anyone else had this problem

Assuming the intent of the heat shield is to keep the interior cooler, insulation under the carpet is more effective.
IMHO anything that is falling apart needs to be removed.

Do you know what model/manufacturer it is?
It should be replaced, not just removed.

My 09 2lz Z06 OEM tunnel plate is sitting in my garage. It just is a sheet of aluminum, no insulation. When I did my HCI work I had a mid-grade Elite Engineering tunnel plate installed. That does have additional insulation.
