Ford engineers actually spent a great deal of time on aerodynamics. They are designed to remove air from under the car and create some negative pressure, which has all sorts of benefits at high speed. I would install them.

I am not aware of any downsides to installing them.

The strakes in question are one of those components which were borrowed from the Dark Horse. They are mounted under the car directly behind the splitter and beside the wheel well openings. It is apparent that they receive airflow from the splitter and then route it to the belly pan behind them, but in order to better understand why they were there I reached out to Ford and chatted with Mustang aerodynamicist Jonathan Gesek.

The dealership I bought my Dark Horse from didn't install them and left them in the trunk. Along with the shipping blocks. What's the thoughts on them?
The strakers help direct the airflow to the rear end cooler in your Dark Horse that's why car's without differential coolers don't have them..
