sound deadning out/in

[Dave]

if i remove the sound deadning stuff thats attached to the bonnet will it effect the noise much??? its falling apart at the bottom anyway, and im about to go full decat so i prob wont hear the engine noise anyways

[Daston]

I thought that was also heat shielding stuff to stop the bonet getting uber hot

[Tricky-Ricky]

Took mine out yesterday, no real increase in engine noise, but i can now hear my alarm and the dump valve, plus a bit of turbo stall.

didnt think of that one

[RobSheffield]

i dont think my bonnet has it on anyway,

[Pete]

Here we go again..... no it doesn't get too hot, your paintwork will be fine... Yes it is a fire blanket to smother engine fires.... yes you can hear the engine and turbos better.

Remove it and you're removing the only built in fire extinguisher your car has.

[Tricky-Ricky]

Most car fires are caused by electrical problems, and not always under the bonnet, so i carry an extinguisher, anyway the only thing that the lining is going to save is the paint on the bonnet;)

[Suprash]

I havent any linning, the only difference I notice now is that rain starts to steam on my bonnet obviously due to some extra heat radiating through......

[Scoboblio]

Mine has white marks all over it, anyone else got this on an older car?

[Dave]

think i wiil leave it where it is and repair it with gaffer tape --thanks for your comments guys---dave

I took mine off last year and have had no problems at all. my paint hasnt faded the only difference is that my blow off valve sounds like a gun going off it so loud. I picked my son up from nursery and when I backed off the throttle a woman ducked and covered her head think she thought she was getting shot at. Couldnt stop laughing all the was home.
