Can I drive without the OEM Strut bars in my engine bay?

[Delta1Seven]

I'm wanting to utilize this long weekend to paint my OEM Engine Strut bars, can I safely drive my car without them installed while they are being painted? I daily my car fyi.

I know the 2020's didn't even come with them from the factory, but I didn't know if they are serving the same purpose on the 2021+

Yes, but you will lose 47 HP......

100%. They do very little if anything. 2020s didn't even have them.

Yes, you can drive it without it. The only difference that a strut bar makes is that it make the front end a little bit rigid and feels steering is more pointy (responsive). But yeah it wont make much difference unless you driving really hard like on Road course track.
