Re: Under Hood Insulation Replacement - Options

I went with the AcoustiHood ABS Panel from Quiet Ride.

I had some old thick stuff under the hood that created more dust under the hood than it did anything else.

I like the look a LOT better & it seems to sound the same in the cab as before.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

JWall,

Do you remember how long it took for your underhood panel to arrive? I ordered mine @ 10:00am on 3/20 & it hasn't arrived yet. The order confirmation doesn't give any shipping info either....

It took a little while but I don't think that long... maybe around a week to ship out.
I think they are produced after you order them.

You might want to give them a call.

Re: Under Hood Insulation Replacement - Options

My insulation is really starting to fall apart too, is there any problem with just removing it completely without replacing it?
