I wouldn't bother unless it's really needed to shield thing like the fuel tank or exhaust rubbers or what ever, you won't notice any other difference.

tbh if it's an XE in a corsa bay it'll help with keeping engine temps down. I'd be trying it at least.

well that was my thought the radiator it pretty close to the manifold so i would of thought it mite have helped keep temperatures down.
