Removing hood liner?

[drumstick]

Is it ok to remove the black cloth feeling hood liner on my 18 GT? Is this there to protect from splashes?

Its fine to remove it. Its there more for sound deading than anything else.

It's not going to heat up/bubble up paint on the hood is it? :doh:

 

[bluebeastsrt]

Had mine off for a year. Have PPF on entire hood with vinyl stripes with no problems.

Is it painted under there?
Also wonder how this effects open cai like Steeda or jlt seal to keep hot air out?

Is there still talk that's it's some kind of fire retardant material? Supposed to reduce the spread of flames/heat somehow?

I recall reading that, seeing a lot of people say that's bunk, the noise suppression angle makes a ton of more sense.

Love the logo, I've seen a vinyl kit that highlights it.

I actually looked for this on their site and can’t find it, do you have a product code I can search. Thanks

That is my understanding of what they are. As they heat up it will shrink and fall off, smothering the fire.

That is why older cars tend to have them hanging off - the heat cycles start to get to the pins holding it in place.

Im am sure it doubles as a sound suppressant.

There's no doubt that that's the main purpose. That's why it's held by plastic push pins. If there is a fire, the pins melt, the liner falls on top of the engine to try and help smother/isolate the fire. In terms of it being there to deflect heat, I ran my last one without it and never had an issue, nor have other people.

Now say you had an engine fire, i'm not sure if insurance could try to screw with you if they found out that you had removed it.
