Hello there,

my question is short but simple: what is the benefit of the foam attached to the bonnet underside, and what happens when you take it out?
mine is worn, so i would like to get rid of it.
answers please!!!!!!!!!!-

 

It's for sound deadening.

Rip it off. I did on both my Imprezas as it looks nasty when it is tatty.

You may hear slightly more engine noise, but it's not that noticeable

allright, so no probs when yanking it from the bonnet, thanx 4 the replies!

 

just wear gloves, that stuff is nasty.

Cheers

If it's for a classic, then it won't make much difference due to the size and thickness...If new age, then take it off asap as it acts as a blanket keeping the engine bay hot. Took mine off and you could notice the difference everytime the bonnet was lifted..
