They designed the car with great consideration of every single part, if your aftermarket exhaust doesn't have it I would do what roastbeef did and exhaust wrap the areas which had the heat shield on the original exhaust system.\
The shields are probably there to prevent the other components underneath the car from getting too hot, such as the axle and rear suspension.
