the potential advantage is reduced heat right? or just cosmetic? I have mine on. I would consider taking it off if it does in fact do something to reduce heat. Otherwise, I think it looks better on than off on a stock setup.

They litteraly just lift right off unless you have a strut bar. Why do you ask Fran?

Unless of course Ford never gave you one, LOL (Ecoboost engine comes naked).

My brother did this on both his Hemi Durango and Challenger. He said they hold heat in. I told him he's full of it! lol
The Mach 1 and GT350 had no cover .
Give me some proof and I'll remove it,

If I were going to track/drag my GT I would, but daily driving? NAH!

Was wondering. I know quite a few people that pop them off as soon as they get a new vehicle with them

I prefer the look of the Coyote not a piece of plastic screaming 5.0.

Its just a peice of plastic. I call BS on anyone who thinks they are enough to make any measurable difference in heat. I personally like the looks with them on. But if you dont, just take it off. Easy easy.

Now the flying saucer they put on top of the Gen 3 coyote GT was absolutely hideous.

No, people i know do not do it for heat. They do it because they want to see an engine.

Gotcha. Thing is, there isnt much to see on a Coyote even with the cover off because of the overhead cams. Even the Mach 1 had to dress things up a little with the faux valve covers. But yeah, if you dont like it just take it off.
