I don't really consider this to be a big deal one way of the other it isn't such a pain to change in the car as it would be with a turbo I guess... however, you sound like you are probably about as fussy about stuff as me so why not take a look? If you do take it off though I'd wire brush the exhaust manifold clean and put on some high temperature paint and make it look nice:-
