No.

And actually, its been proven that its needed for cooling. But whatever, you're the pro.

THANX BOLO AND INSANEAUTO86!!!

.....and GM installed it for getting air in a cramped and insulated space. having no bumper reinforcement, A/C condensor, washer bottle, or shroud gives plenty of airspace and dissipate the heat like what insaneauto86 explained.

i didnt gut my cats for flow. and yes it does cause turbulence and resonation. doesnt take a genius to figure out about flowing characteristics

i dont remember saying 3200 was light. point of the fact is, its 200lbs off of the car. to some, 200+lbs is quite a bit of weight off of a car

So you took a nice SS and gutted it into an unsafe, illegal, and uncomfortable car for 2 tenths?

lol
The last pass I made I ran a 12.9 and I thought I had a track car. lol Should run a bit quicker now, hoping for 10's NA with a mild cam and some other minor, but proper ingredients.
We all got to start somewhere right.
