so i decided to remove my homemade rack to see if it affected mpg (NOPE)
but it had like a growling roaring on the highway.
seeing that it never got fully painted and it was rather tall. i cut it down.
heres the original finished rack.

my question is if i remove the top bar in the front and put just a slant support bar on the ends would that kill the noise? or is the noise coming from the cavity from bottom bar and roof of jeep?
