I took mine out of the car a few years ago when it was not longer a daily driver and became a street/strip car. It does affect handling enough that I would recommend taking it out completely and learning to drive slow around corners OR leaving it in as is. The reason I say that is I used to take mine out occassionally if I was planning on doing any kind of racing and then put it back in whenever time permitted. One night I was running it pretty hard on the way to work and tried to make a turn only the car wanted to keep going straight. It's not something worth wrecking your car over. Kind of like finding yourself upside down in a jeep because it was in 2 wheel drive instead of 4 in the middle of a snow storm. Did that make any sense?
