did anyone take that extra shield off on there hood?
if water gets in will it **** it up?
does the car breath better?

who all took theres off?


THANKS!

 

Many people have taken theirs off with no ill effects. People act like if water gets into the engine bay that it will die. It is not like the engine bay is waterproof.

 

alright so your saying its fine.....cool thanks!

is it better air flow for the car?

 

I have read the design of the fins facilitates the exiting of the hot air while driving. Without it, there is a decreases in the quantity of hot air exiting the engine bay. If I remember correctly, air turbulence has a big effect on this phenomenon without the 'shield' on.

I've only read about this...not stating it as fact.

 

I honestly think there is a negligible difference, but don't quote me on that.

 

+1 it was engineered to be more efficient in removing hot air from the motor while the car is in motion. However it will not hurt your car without it, just dont drive in a monsoon with an open element filter

 

BTW this has been covered a ton of times look around a little to see what else people have said and it should verify some of the above comments.

 

thanks guys....i just took it off and it just looks weird my engine showing like that....doesn't really look healthy....

 

i toook mine off and put polished intercooler pipes....looks awsome...do pipes and ull love it....dont worry about the water it doesnt hurt the motor at all lol

less heat to! ha

 

alright sweet....ya it jsut looks nuts can u can see EVERYTHING haha

 

yeaa i no...u can actully just polish the uper intercooler pipe and u can see it threw the hood...will look good...i like it

 

I take mine off in the summer on nice days. Rain and track days i put it back in. Sitting in traffic with it out helps to release more of the hot air coming off of my manifold.

 

to me doesent look normal. plus i dont like showing my stuff so freely.................LOL

 

i would think its better with it on. and get a metal one.

 

hahaha * plus i dont like showing my stuff so freely*

ahahahaha

ya i put mine back in....
