Re: camaro hood insulation

O.K. i don't know the answer to your question . what i do know is that the insulation was installed to supress engine noise , not heat . i have thrown it away on all my 3rd. gens. . if i have an engine noise i want to hear it right away before any damage happens . just my thoughts . good luck .

Re: camaro hood insulation

Re: camaro hood insulation

i agree that hearing a bad engine noise sooner than later is good, but i think it does look a lot neater under the hood with the insulation. try rickscamaros.com for some of the odds and ends like that
