Yeah hobby, it is fun, repairs with a 5# hammer are easy. slowly getting her back to how she rolled off the line, within reason. Not going for the Blue-Ribbon award. Just glad I got one and can have fun with it.

Have been lucky for several yrs. with pans. No Problems yet and the look is great. Also, easy to drain water and wipe any oil from the steering box.

See post #5. Engine pans reduce dust infiltration into the engine bay, which can help if you're not using an air filter. They direct the flow of oil or coolant when you're doing things like draining the radiator or removing the valve cover, so it makes cleanup easier. They are thought to improve the performance of the cooling system by forcing air to come through the radiator and out the louvers, rather than allowing air to move in and out randomly through the bottom of the engine bay; however, this is mostly conjecture and anecdote, it hasn't been proven and we don't have documentation from the OEM stating that this is the intent.

I use them because they were on my car when I bought it. I like the look.

You could wrap a burrito in foil and place it on the right side by the pipe to keep it warm.

Mine saved my K&N air filter from getting lost...
