Other then completely removing it, you can relocate it to under the computer. All you'll see is the cable at that point. Just another option for ya

I know there are two cables coming from the firewall to the boxe behind the battery then on comes off and goes to the throttle body. I wanna get rid of the box. My cruise control doesn't work so I wanna get rid of it and I have 490 to the wheels so tcs is pointless to lol

I am going to take my cruise and traction control as well. Thats exactly what I am going to do, is just get a non cruise/non asr throttle cable. However, I am a little worried that if I yank that stuff out that it will throw some codes and my traction control light.
