The power pack for the gen 3 requires you to cut a slut in the engine cover. I'm lazy, so I just removed it. It doesn't sound any louder, not that it did a good job of hiding the chatter anyways. I've actually noticed cooler cylinder head temps, if there's been any change. It's just for show. If it had any real performance benefit then I think it would be more common knowledge instead of conjecture.

That's just cruel to sluts...

I reread my whole post looking for the innuendo then finally caught the spelling mistake LOL. It's my civic duty to not fix it, right?

I agree that it is a very odd engine cover. I didn't put mine back on after I installed the ported throttle body and intake manifold. I don't think the cover has any engineering in it for under hood airflow, or sound, etc. And removing it saves (a whopping!) 4.5 lbs from the front of the car (I weighed it on my kitchen scale). The only things I liked were that it had the 5.0 on it, and the "Powered by Ford" text. Didn't care for how it was shaped.

Now I can clean the tubes and piping and coil packs that sit under it. That said, I do wish that the engine was laid out a little cleaner underneath it, but hey, it's not that big of a deal.

The more I think about it and how big it is. Maybe its there incase your hood comes off you have a second hood under it since they are about the same size

First "mod" I did was pull the engine cover off.
If it makes any difference in engine noise, I can't tell.
Between the exhaust and tire noise of the PPL2, that engine cover wasn't making the car any quieter.

I like the way it looks when you make it custom, and it is a way to show that you have a GEN3 engine
