bye bye rats nest.

Most likely going to get rid of the "rats nest". Really just looking to make the engine bay more simple and clean. I know there is no performance "upgrade" and that gas mileage drops, but I'm looking for tips and opinions about removing the "rats nest". Thanks and merry Christmas.

So let me ask, if you know there is no added performance, starting the engine can be more difficult, and the fuel mileage drops, why remove it then? For looks? A clean original unmodified FB is far more impressive than one with removed components.

I think that's a matter of opinion but in regards to removing the rats nest, I might have to agree with you.
