I think that it will prevent alot fumes and crap from getting in the car, take it off if you want but don't through it out

Trust Me... You'll get sick of the tranny whine within time. You probably wont like fumes, dust, and other noise's coming through into the car as well. Keep The Boot.

Worse complain is the heat. It somehow likes to creep through the leather boot just enough to piss you off, lol. Wish I could remember where I left it to put it back...

I thought I could leave it out when I put in my B&M Ripper b/c it was torn to pieces. 3 days later I went to the ford dealer and shelled out $15 for a new one. I just couldn't stand the tranny noise.
