I took mine off and noticed a marked increase in MPG, took it on a 650 mile trip and avg 24.5 mpg over 650 miles @70-80 mph. With the rubber rear trim off the hood and the insulation off there is more heat escaping and the cooler motor gets better mpg.
I took mine off and gained 0.4 sec in the 1/4 mile. Less weight and wind resistance FTW

I removed mine from my 2016 with turn signals in the vents. The engine heat melted the tape holding the wiring for the turn signals. I reinstalled the insulation. Lesson learned.
