Can't see the logic in it. Changes like this will alter manifold vacuum at idle/off-throttle, which will affect braking potential and idle fuel economy. Why would you mess with **** like that for the sake of a noise which, lets be honest, sounds like something is broken anyway?

How much braking force do you need on idle, not that it's a problem in this case? Injector duty cycle hasn't changed, pumping losses (as indicated by engine reduction vacuum) has decreased so in theory fuel economy on idle can be improved (not that it would make a big difference)

In regards to mods (like this one) it's all subjective to personal tastes/requirements at the end of the day, just like some people prefer the sound of rotor's or 8's etc which should be respected.

Cheers,
Steve

I was under the impression that this 'Ghostcam' kicks in whenever in an off-throttle situation, not just when stationary. Let me know if this is not the case.

i was under the same impression mate.
