Default Noise Reduction Removal

I was reading through this thread (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...to-finish.html) and noticed that it was recommended to remove the pins for the noise reduction microphones from the X3 plug. I know that was in regards to adding an additional amp and subs but was curious if removing them from a stock 10-speaker system would cause any issues or provide any improvements. Anyone have any experiences with this?

You're only supposed to remove them in some scenarios when adding an external amp, sub and speakers. The noise cancelation messes with the aftermarket pieces or causes additional weird noise problems.

That would be me so is pulling pin 4 and 5 the way to go?

Yes, pin #4 and pin#5 will disable the noise cancelling feature.
