So yours is an 06, but had the older style flaps? Intersting as mine is a 55 and from some of the reading, it looked like it might be OK.

Mine was a desember 04, so 2005 model and it had the flaps. Did NOT look good when i removed then. Not long until i would have some bits inside my engine. So really happy i did mine. As mentioned, About 1,5 hours of work.

Never thought of ebay - always looked more expensive than that.

I.e. by removing the flaps you have actually slightly worsened your "pickup" over the said rev range.
