I also took off the rubber weatherstrip at the rear of the bay...maybe it will help in the winter to melt some of the snow/ice off the windshield, too.
Is there a reason we're concerned about the underhood insulation? Are we thinking it has some effect on the underhood temps in a negative way?

Reading between the lines it seems some are worried about heat build up. I personally think it’s more for sound dampening. If I had the open K&N I’d be more concerned about retained heat and would look for ways to disperse it.
I’ll have to get the under hood temp really hot and use a temp gun to measure the heat at the rear of the hood before and after removing the strip everyone is talking about. I doubt I will remove the insulation from the underside of the hood.
I wonder and am not sure any one mentioned the insulation and strip at the rear could also reduce the air flow in the event of an engine fire. I would think if you opened up the flow by removing the rear strip you would create a fresh air feed to the fire.

yeah, but I wouldn't think that smaller engine puts out/generates as much heat as these things do... these things get very HHHHHHOT....

didn't mean to sound like I put it down... just meant to say I didn't think it ran as hot as ours... I know this is the hottest running car I've ever owned...
