Got a 2020 mani for cheap, and it won't be going on for a few weeks so I figured I'd mess with it or paint it while it's sitting around.

I'm going to drill holes and just ziptie the rotating irmc rods so they stay full open. I'm keeping my 2015 mani stock and in my garage for selling or emissions testing if I need it, so I don't mind maiming this one

I can use a rotary tool and cut all these mounting parts off right? Is any of this used for anything without the imrc stuff? Would it affect the structural integrity of anything? Anything else on here not going to be used on a 2015 car that I can cut off or change?

Thanks!

Yes they can be cut . Then make up some brackets and the engine cover will fit .

Also if you get the cpv and second cpv tube , makes for a cleaner install.

if you are gonna run lockouts as i assume you are the lockout kits use a couple of those holes to hold the imrc flaps open so i wouldnt get rid of anything until you get your lockouts done.
