When you remove emissions components it leaves big holes in your intake. You have to cover those up or they're gigumbus vacuum leaks.

I installed a Vtec decal on my rear gate, and it put down another 17 hp to the wheels.

A negative disadvantage to the point that if the BAC was gone and your using a stock ecu it will affect your idle.
