Question handling issue from front bumper inner support removal

I have a Greddy front mount intercooler installed now with the whole front impact fender removed and i notice understeer and less in turn performance than i had before. Does anybody else notice this?

the whole parts weighs about 25 pounds that have been removed

what would it be related to cassis flex and weight distribution or other?

What is the brilliance of the forums thoughts and wisdom say?

So you are saying that removing the front bumper support causes more chassis flex and less aggressive turn-in, or subjective understeer?

I removed mine but didn't worry about it harming the structural characteristics of the chassis because there is a tubular cross bar right behind it (the bar that the oil cooler mounts to).

I guess I will have to try the car without the support piece and then with it on to know for sure.
