Just curious how many do. I just put mine back on. Not quite sure it is necessary but I did it anyway.

they put those on for the catalytic converter, almost useless if you leave the cat off because of the space between the exhaust pipe and the floor. you're frame is looking good!

I wasn't sure if the heat from the exhaust would still transfer through the floor board. That was the only reason I put mine back on. I may just take it back off.
