Holds in Heat, it's Ugly and when you remove, you can go Faster!

Mine hangs on the Garage Wall

I like the cover. When I show other people what's my under hood,
they go "Wow V8, whooooo". LOL.

I used to paint all of my old covers on cars, but got over that fad pretty quickly.

The LFX UIM is just too ugly, so I leave that cover on. But on my 3800 I have it removed.

Took mine off and sold it well over 10k miles ago. Zero issues.

It's just a cover like most GM cars. No issues running without it.

Just telling you the reason they use them, it also supresses those sounds too... geesh..

Mine is painted to match the Inferno Orange and white strips of the car. Also matches the support bar, as that was also painted Orange and white. To each his own.

Most modern motors have noisy injectors and they're easy to hear over the lifters.
