    Does anyone know where I can get the insulation that goes under the hood?

    o_O My 98 had one. I won't ever forget it because it was half torn and looked burnt. Not sure if there's one one my 01.

    I never had one on my 04... I'd say rock it without the insulation. Not sure what the point of the stuff was anyways. Some people say it's supposed to fall on the engine to extinguish a fire. Not sure how much good it'd do.

    As I understand it, not sure if true, it can act as a heat shield and noise suppressor as well.
