Under bonet insulation removal
The insulation attached to the underside of the bonnet of my MY93 WRX is getting tired and is starting to fall apart. I've superglued it back together a couple of times, but I'm wondering if I'm just best to get rid.
Are there any downsides to removing this? I assume it is just there to deaden the sound of the engine, rather than keep it warm?!

Hi Dave
It wont damage or cause any concern by removing the insulation. It's purely for reducing sound.
