no never..... you will mess up the whole airbag system on the car.. it may cause the passenger airbag to fire at anytime. also your insurance will be invalid if you have a crash. These devices are standard to make your chances of surviving a crash better. What will yo achieve wth a performance steering wheel... all it is is a fancy style and smaller than the standard...... this means that to get the correct resonse from your stearing you have to turn the wheel more... .. you wil not feel the road better your car has power steering .. it will achieve nothing

It might look neat, but it's not a very smart decision. If you're ever in a head-on collision you're gonna wish you've kept that air bag. But if you want to sacrifice safety for looks, be my guest. Another thing you can do is get a nice aftermarket leather wrap for your steering wheel, and a new fancy emblem. That's a much safer mod to do.

Keep the stock wheel in it. If you did get injured in an accident, removing the air bag would give the insurance company enough reason not to pay off on the claim.
Why throw away a safety device, that you have already paid for? You never know when you may need it. good luck.

It's a freakin' steering wheel. It's not going to make your car go faster. I believe it's illegal to disable or remove an air bag. They are required by federal law.

What good is a performance steering wheel going to do you.
I think you would be better off with the air bag

I'm with the Fordman on this one.
But his reason is just as valid as mine.
You are dealing with an explosive that is going to be right in your face when you remove that wheel.
If you do this incorrectly, or you slip up, you are going to be taking a visit to the emergency room or the morgue.
The power of that system is equivellent to a 12 gauge shotgun at point blank range.
There is a good chance your friends might be scooping up your intelligence from the floor boards, or scraping it off the back window.
Its your life!

Are you out of your freaking mind? It is totally out of the realm of sane thinking to want risk your life to look cool! You may be the best driver in the world fella. But the drunk as* hole in the 98, F150 that hits you will not be! Think smart and save your mom and dad a trip to the morgue to identify your dumb as*. Sorry if I am too hard on you. But I know all to well what I am talking about. My son was only 17 when the drunkin bitc* hit him. That air bag is there to save your life. Please don't remove it.

On many vehicles you cannot remove the airbag without disabling the vehicle.
