I have had mine off for about 80 000 miles with no problem engine codes or and ill effect. take it off looks bad and does nothing. gains in cleaning up engine bay are worth it alone!!

i just chase the wires back a little bit in the harness, cut, taped off and tucked away in the covering by the injecters. have ran that way for the last 3 yrs with no problems.

You're new, friend. Don't be afraid to do some searching and reading. Look at the PCM & Diagnostics forum for info on tuning. Check out your local forum to find tuners in your area. Your typical shop doesn't do what needs done here.

As for removal: unbolt from exhaust manifold, from head, from intake manifold, unplug harness. Toss into garbage. Install cover plate on ex man, freeze plug in intake - or better yet, install LS6 manifold. Have code tuned out.

I copied your post over to the Parts Wanted forum where it should bring more action. I'm leaving it here, but in the future please don't revive old threads unless you have fresh content to add to the subject of the thread. Thanks!
