I think the only thing its there for is to kill out some noise.. wouldnt make sense to try and keep heat in.. Take it off and youll probabily find 5-10 lbs of crap that you dont need

Aluminum shields
You can always get some aluminum heat shield stuff to replace it from Summit Racing or Jegs. Not that expensive but will keep the heat from bringing the temperature of the hood up too high in the summer months. At worst I don't think that it will cause any immediate harm to the hood but in the long run it will shorten the life span on the paint.

My first FD the insulation was in bad shape, so I removed it and had no problems (2 years) The one I have now is still in great shape so I've left it on so far.
