Will I gain any HP????
Will I gain any HP???? If I remove the fillers in the hood of my WS6 (behind the plastic inserts) will I gain anything or am I just inviting rain on a rainy day???? I've seen it done but is it worth it?

the things people do to their car for the sake of a few horsepower. this is just like the free ram air mod. cut the **** out of your airbox for barely any gain at all. if it were that simple and if the positives outweighed the negatives, GM would have done it.
please leave the hood alone. there is nothing to be gained but water in your engine bay and an uglier hood. well, there's weight reduction, but you can just leave your left shoe off.

I removed the baffles out of the hood on my current AND previous WS6 with no adverse effects. Maybe it didn't help, but I KNOW it didn't hurt anything.
People pay money for "cold air intake" setups. This FREE MOD lets cooler outside air come directly towards the inlet for the airbox.
To each his own, I would do it again, no doubt.

Oh yeah, and to the guy that said it would make it an "uglier hood", I must disagree. It looks just as good as before. I actually think it looks good to be able to see the inlet to the airbox through the openings, (when you look close) and it's simply badass to hear the sucking noise coming from the open nostrils in the hood

I agree. I removed the baffles and have the lid sealed to the hood. I've driven through some major rainstorms and have never had an issue. I run an oiled filter though.

Thats how I broke into the 11's, 12.2's to 11.9's with de-baffled BGRA.
