I was at a trackday today through NASA at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and after numerous laps I came in and my insullation was falling off the hood. I know that it is held on by those black inserts, but just how important is the insullation? I took it off so that It wouldn't fall down and get caught in the engine and all. Should I go out and replace this insullation or is it going to be ok? Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks!

I took mine off about 4500 miles ago and have had no problems.

when i removed mine, the engine bay actually felt a little cooler than with it on..

no good for your hood paint... ?

Exactly, all that heat will make the hood alot hotter then it already is and probably bubble the paint. You can just replace it with Dynomat.

I had it off for over 20k, no problems with paint.

No insulation ruined my hood right where the turbos are. The heat dried out the paint so much the clear coat was peeling.
