i took the fabric insulation pad off of the underside of my hood yesterday and was just wondering if it was a bad idea to leave it off? My CAI was rubbing a hole in it so i just decided to take it off now the hood gets pretty warm....just curious if anyone else has done this

 

Mines been off since The SRT hood was put on with no ill effects, but mines not a 6.7

 

For some years the factory didn't even put em on so I don't know what it would hurt to not have it.

 

I think it's more of sound deadening than anything else. To me it just traps heat if ya really think about it.

 

ok then im keepin it off thnx guys

 

good idea

 

ive never had any on any of my vehicles ive owned
on my dodge, i even took the insulation off the fire wall

 

There might be different req't for different areas. It is also a fire-extinguishing blanket that covers the engine in the event of an under hood fire.

 

They may want to re-think that one cause I've seen a few engine fires and it didn't seem to extinguish the fire very good. But maybe it does help contain it. I don't know

 

mine burnt pretty good when i put it in our burning barrel
