remove hood insulation 5lbs save and better cooling
- Thread starter twistedneck
- Start date
By the time the plastic pins melt and the insulation/fire blanket drops, the cars going to be toast. I don't see this helping save your car if it catches on fire under the hood. Plenty of Fords have burned to the ground from bad cruise control wires. they had the hood insulation/fire blanket and it didn't stop anything.
Last week The damn thing didn't help FivePointOh 2012 Mustang GT.

I didn't design the f*cking thing but thats what it's for, not sound deadening as mentioned.By the time the plastic pins melt and the insulation/fire blanket drops, the cars going to be toast.

Not much. He parked it, after a few hours a fireman came banging on his door to tell him his car was on fire.
What cause his car to catch on fire?
Last I read no one knows yet.
Hmm
I did that a year and half ago. 5lbs not sure on the weight I did it for the heat.

I pulled the liner off my car last night.
1. its not 5lbs - more like 3. not as thick as the trunk liner.
2. its got the drab brown base coat in the center, but most of it is ingot silver like the car.
3. My friend dropped one of the plastic pins into the abyss under the hood and it was never found again! (add that to a few other nuts and bolts that are lost forever in there).
4. its slightly louder and that was good - i deleted my sonotube and this sounds much better and more race.
5. made a bit more room for the air filter that is slightly hitting hood after my boss intake install.

Yea he let his insurance lapse.:bash:
Please tell me you are joking? If so I feel really bad for that guy.
might pull mine off tomorrow, i would love to actually hear my KB whine
No that's what the guy said. He's holding out that it is a defect and Ford will cover it (like the ABS computers on the F150's a few years back I guess). Otherwise he's screwed.
am i missing a thread somewhere on this?
It's on S197forum.com
observation.. i need to stop eating cheese burgers for a year.
oh. its WAY louder under the hood w/ that insulation gone. i'm very happy about that.
