Plastic on the bottom of car... Remove?
Anyone remove the plastic under the car? Specifically where the headers come down and back towards the rear of the car following he exhaust?
I was thinking of keeping this plastic off to cool down the headers/exhaust and a small bit of weight reduction... Has anyone done this??

I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Any cooling/weight benefit you perceive will be offset by the negative aerodynamic impact (reduced fuel economy & handling). Also, those covers are there in part to protect the under-bits of your car, so there is additional risk in removing them.
