    Does anyone actually like this stuff? Small pieces keep flaking off, I feel like when I go to do my plugs, there's going to be small pieces of this foam that fall into the intake, can I just get rid of it? What's the benefit to having it in there?

    what are you doing to it that it's constantly flaking off on a brand new truck?

    it's just supposed to sit there, you're not supposed to lick it!
