Ah, ok. That makes sense.

false, while you may gain 1/2 hp from cooler air/ram air, arnt you creating more drag anyways??? if u have a turbo/sc setup i would say it helps, but n/a? no

i have plenty of track times if that was towards me. can you show me proof that it works. like back to back runs with slips? removing the headlight is like saying spending 200 bucks on a cai is worth it on a 2v, b/c its not. its pointless, it does nothing other than look stupid.

Thanks for the replies, some of them were quite entertaining! I'm gonna try it next Friday for s#!ts and giggles. I'll put the headlight in my trunk so it won't get stolen :^).
