It helps get colder air into the engine. Well worth it.

Re: Baffle Removal on WS.6

I removed both sets of baffles in my car .... no problems.

Did it help? I don't know. But I like knowing that there's nothing interfering with airflow.

As soon as I install my Brian Green ram air kit this weekend, I'll give a review. Also, the BGRA is supposed to reduce engine temperatures by 30%.

Re: Baffle Removal on WS.6

The way I understand and have read gm put baffles in to restrict water intering which in turn kills airflow, opening up the hood greatly increases airflow, and the hood itself has the scoops in a great location, will you feel the diff maybe but probably not
