Can anyone explain this to me?
Why would they sandwich the exhaust like this? Is it worth changing?

Because there is a brace there for the convertibles
GM is cheap and only wants to make one part number. Cross directional area is the same, iirc. So no gains

Cheap? Maybe, but this is why we all get to enjoy driving such great cars for such great value. Nobody sees it anyway.

The horse is dead on this topic. No negative impact on performance.

Cross section is definitely not the same. Gains by removing seem to be minimal on a stock car.

Probably going to cause the mustangs to beat you, I’d install a CAI to fix it.

The mash has been cut out and replaced before and tested and showed no increase in performance.

But that will add at least 100 hp!

We know changing it adds no hp, that's obvious, but does it make a difference in sound?
