On a plus side you will hear the engine noise abit more. Ive removed it on 3 off my Aristos and 4 supras with out ever having any problems ever.

 

If you are worried about heat issues or noise then you can replace it with Dynamat Extreme Hood liner.

It's not only sound proofing it's also a fire suppressor. If a fire starts the plastic lugs holding it in place melt and it drops onto the engine. Then when you open the bonnet wondering wtf is going on it doesn't turn your face into a funny looking pepperoni pizza.

Good job you chimed in! I was thinking of removing mine to hear the engine more :D

If the fire was that hot and big enough to melt clips. I will be the last person near the car and not wanting to open the bonnet to see if the fire proof/ sound proofing is doing its job. 😀

 

Doesn't need to be a fire, enough heat can melt plastic clips ;)

Well if the engine bay is getting that hot to melt plastic clips and for the sound proofing to fall or sag onto the engine then thank god i got rid off my mines. Its a hazard more than anything else then.
