- Less sound dampening, which is a plus for those who prefer a louder SC whine.
- Serves as an insulator, however, I have not read of a single person who has reported paint and/or stripe damage upon its removal.
- In the event of an engine bay fire, the fasteners are designed to release the hood liner/blanket to aid in smothering the fire. Specifically, the fasteners are plastic and will melt under excessive heat, whereas the hood blanket is fire retardant. This enables the blanket to simply fall onto the engine...
... so, a hood blanket does serve a purpose, however, insignificant... unless you experience a fire under your hood.
