It won't hurt anything but with a tune it won't help either.
Gunny:
I don't believe it helped even before the tunes became available. I could not find any difference between the two set ups, stock or EDAL. By the way what ever happened to the guy that came up with the EDAL idea in the first place? I think he also made charge pipes out of steel tubing, if I remember correctly he worked in aviation?

PS:
If you are a member of the Kappa Performance site, you may answer me there or here. The Solstice Forum site has become too slow so I am seldom on anymore. Thanks Gunny
I do not think this mod will help you in that regard.

I'm new to this forum with a "Sly" LNF Coupe, which I'd been waiting for since both Solstice concepts- Roadster and Coupe - were actually driven out to center stage at the Detroit Auto Show of January 2002 by Bob Lutz himself!
That said, I wanted to offer just one small "installation" change based on personal experience with a bit of personal preference thrown in. Whenever modifying anything from "pure stock", I prefer not cutting any original parts unless this cannot be avoided.
This applies especially to original wiring and hoses and, more specifically, where the original hoses are "formed" pieces for which exact replacements are always hard to find. So, here's what I'd do . . .
Original installation . . .
. . . 1-2-3 . . .
. . . 4-5-6 . . .
. . . Voila, final result and no original hoses cut! . . .
