I agree that this piece is necessary but what about the air silencer we all have removed? It costs how much for Ford to make/install those things and everyone I know has removed it. Maybe the silencer is strictly to pass govt. emmisions hence it being worth the cost/labor?
(Sorry to jack this thread with a different topic)

the status quo doesn't want to hear the engine...car companies put a lot of time into making the engine and exhaust close to inaudible from inside the car.

I don't think it has anything to do with emissions...but I've been wrong before.

Fawcett and Therian, you're right - it was for NVH and decibel requirements.

John, Good stuff. I'd expect the lack of the air dam to be more noticed when on I-10 (or other extended super-45 mph speed situations).

Think of it this way:

Ford made over 5000 SN95's.. They're charging us $12 for one, so let's say it's costing them $2 to make one [damn child labor]; that's $10,000 just for a little piece of plastic that some people call "useless". To Ford that's $10,000 lost. I doubt Ford would say "Hey, this doesn't do anything but lets spend $10,000 just to put a piece of useless plastic here".

Follow my drift? Companies wouldn't do that if it didn't serve a purpose. It'd be a loss on their part.

Rain and Aruba don't belong in the same sentence! I can't wait until august when I'll be back down there! Its my favorite place I've ever been, thus the reason I go every year!
