No alignment is not needed, there is another bolt that needs to be removed + an alignment pin to free the strut.

As for performance, I've taken it off and driven around then re-installed it and drove the same route. You can feel it tighten up the front end when making slalom-like turns, where the car is thrown from one side to the other. Not huge by any means, but it never hurts to tighten a car up.

I'd say 60% engine bling, 40% performance upgrade.

As for the liner, it looks worse in the photo. I've had it for 4000 miles and no fraying or damage is apparent.
