Just wondering, it makes working on everything alot easier especially at the track when you blow off your lower intercooler pipe. Any pros or cons to it? Some folks mentioned weird drivability problems from the air moving thru there. Who knows...looking for some good feedback.

lots of threads about this.... Easier to get at stuff, but you get drag and dirty engine bays.

I took mine off because i was ripping my engine apart every week it seemed like and it takes like 30 minutes to take it off... (I am LAZY)


should have added to your question, who has taken out hood vent?? lol, thats another thing people like to argue about on here

I'd keep it on for the aerodynamic benefits. If you pipe keeps blowing off buy yourself some t-clamps. Also, if you really don't like the stocker, look into an aftermarket piece like beatrush or carbing

The ditch technically removed mine for me....but if it wasnt for the undertray things would have been seriously messed up.

Mine is off, I would like it back on though. I can see it being functional at high speeds, but everyday highway driving ? 75mph? I'd rather have it off in stop and go just to get open air around it. It's a toss up.

\/ Thats why I went with the ETS\/
