The stock catch can weighs next to nothing and is perfectly molded to be under the battery. It's a total waste to go with an aftermarket can. The only thing it will lighten is your wallet.

i tackled 1 inner fender last night, kind of a pain in the *** lol but its 10lbs all together so i wont feel bad if i run a 12.000 and kick myself in the *** for not doing it...last time i was stuck at 12.700 3 runs in a row before i finally hit a 12.685
hey DTB_LS1 I just noticed you have some more weight under the core support, I trimmed the sides of mine back and cut the middle spots out. I ran the airdamn, the car has beter areo with it unless you car is super low and 3inch off the ground. I dont think m6 car is gona be setup like that. haha. I just left the bottem side V metal for 3 of the air dam bolts. Was fine all year, scraped the air damn a few time bad.
I wish I could do this to my car..I just cant bring myself to do it lol. I enjoy driving mine too much and I like to comfort and AC and **** not having a bunch of road noise.

same here. I love driving my "hacked" car haha. I drove it a bit this winter, up to last week. We got some snow and finally salted the roads good this week. I know most locals with " not cut up" cars that took them off the road 3 months ago to store them. And they never drive them much anyway. Its a used car they made 100's of thousandths of them, there worth $5-8K for a stock SS/WS6. Sounds stupid to me, do what ever you want and enjoy your car.

Im not saying my cars anything special but being a Firehawk, I have EVERYTHING that has came off this car except the intake, clutch, and rearend. Yes thousands were produced but My desire to have a 9 second car isnt great enough to just start ripping the comforts of the car out. I like the factory interior and mines in great shape. It snowed last week here and I drove my car this weekend, I own a detail shop so its not too hard to clean a car when its 20* outside. I drive mine a lot and thats what I like about it. Im just saying the bug has not bit me hard enough to start cutting my car to loose a few pounds..I just add more power

So it has nothing to do with the heater part of the controls, only A/C? i want to keep my heat but the A/c is long gone. I removed this thing today not knowing what it really does. but havent drove the car yet to see if my heater controls still work because its winter.

you can just pull the lines off and cap them and see how the stock heat stuuf still works.
I have a lighter heater so it dosnt have the adjustable ducts anymore. But I removed that thing when I had the stock heater box and don't remember it affection anything?

I'm glad I started off with my lt1 Formula instead of a nicer ls1 car. 7 years ago I paid $3k for it, so cutting it up isn't that heart breaking IMO. And its actually ended up being cheaper to build my car with an lq4, than it was to buy an ls1 car still.
