They all come with clips installed for one. differences are minimal to none as there really only 2 sources that makes them ALL. just that DMT put SS clips on theirs.

That seal is to prevent the engine heat from being drawn into the cabin. Might help with engine heat but maybe not so great for the driver.

Agreed X2. Also to keep engine fumes out of the cabin.

I suspect bigshc...... Was thinking of a shaker seal not cowl.
