Hey people I have a cobra hood with the two air hood intakes. My heat shield thats under the hood is a little warn. Do I need to have this thing or can I remove it. I would think there might be more air flow without it.

Thanks for your help

You can remove it.

It's only purposes that I have ever heard of is noise absorbtion and have also heard that they help to smother a fire should you ever have one. Not sure how good a job they go on that last one but I have heard that more than once and in theory anyway it makes a little sense.

That's what I was thinking. It's a little worn and I think it would look cleaner without it for now.
