Matting Under Hood?
#1
hey guys, i'm just curious, is that black matting under the hood worth keeping on? I've heard it has a ton of weight to it, and i know for a fact that it keeps in alot of heat that i wish i didn't have, seeing as i have a high flow intake (bomz) would it help taking it out? to dispurse alot of the heat kept in my engine bay

I took mine off when I installed my supercharger due to clearance issues. It doesn't weigh very much and cuts down on noise a bit. I would have preffered to keep it on but oh well.

I have it on my 2000. I have heard that some people with shorty style of headers have had paint peel on their hood because they didn't have the matting.
