    Well looks like you already did it, but I would've too. Unless you really need it for space and cargo, I think the noise and MPG hit are good reasons to take it off.

    Well I disagree! lol someone has to right?

    I have the same rack and I probably will rarely use it but I love the looks and the noise is unoticable with Duratracs on lol and I don't think its a noticable MPG decrease at all but thats just my .02

    Yeah I barely get over 40 mph on my way to work so I doubt i'll see a change in MPG. It also wasn't very noisy... but I could tell it was there when it was on, i rarely listen to the radio.

    I really was going through mod withdrawal and had to change something up.

    LOL I hear you man. I ordered pre-cut tints for my fog lights because I just need to do something!!! I may also order the chrome grab handles with some extra graduation cash.....or a new watch.

    Anyway, I love the looks of the rack so don't get rid of it you may regret it!? I listen to the radio any time I am driving so to be honest I rarely hear the noise even from my duratracs

    Oh well if you barely go over 40 then I don't imagine it making much difference. Maybe I'm crazy, but I noticed a pretty significant increase in wind noise when I took my airdam off and a drop of .5 MPG.

    lol im NOT getting rid of the rack. Its in my back yard and I can throw it on in 10 minutes if I need it. It's not like its a high dollar rack, wouldn't be worth selling.
