Heat shields are usually spec'd for a reason. Radiation from uncovered exhaust components could put a lot of extra heat into places you don't want it to be, raising intake temps, degrading bushings/grommets/hoses, blistering paint on the hood, etc. I don't know specifically what will happen on your Subaru, but I wouldn't do it on one of my cars unless I had to.
