Fuel Rail Covers - Functional?
Anyone know if the C6 Fuel Rail Covers are there for a reason, other than cosmetic? For instance, are they there to help keep the coils dry etc. I am one of the few who like the look of the engine without the covers, but I don't want to remove them if they serve a useful purpose. It seems to me that they would tend to retain a lot of heat over the fuel rails and coils etc.
