When you say that, do you mean like this? (front fender) Is that really the best way to do it, considering how there seem to be a million different fender designs out there? For example in this one, the rear fender doesn't have that treatment.

Technically yes there's "more stress on the engine" as the engine would be pumping out more bhp before mechanical and throttle losses and burning more fuel, but because you're reducing the temperature that you're burning the fuel at, less heat will make it to the coolant.
