However, I've heard that some strips wont let you run if its a modified SFI approved housing. For street use, you almost have to do it if the motor is mounted low or if your Cobra sits lower...
Cutting on your SFI approved scattershield definately voids it's SFI rating. I never liked doing it to customer cars when they requested it. It is much like when a customer wants shoulder harnesses, but not the submarine strap.
