It won't really sag or cave-in. But without the support it they do tend to "pull away" from the mounts resulting in gaps between the hood and fenders.

For a street car, you could lighten the support but drilling out the steel back plate and maybe removing some of the plastic supports. But I wouldn't dump the entire thing.

For me front mount intercooler I made supports to hold the nose up. If I ever had a front impact it will mostly destroy the intercooler!
