Default Insulation?
Hey all


I'm puttin on a new air intake horn and the insulation on the hoods in the way. I was wondering if any of u guys have taken it off and if it makes the engine louder or not.

thanks for the input.

I replaced mine with Dynamat. It comforms to the hood shape and keeps the sound at the original level
