Removing internal hood cover

Post by Kristof_clg »

Hi,

I would like to know what would happen if i remove the internal hood cover (that black "blanket" that covers the side that goes to the engine of the hood).

Has anyone done that?

So i finally cleaned it and installed it back.

I first removed it because my cone filter was sucking the dirt from the cover, but i managed to lower a bit the cone filter and to install an aluminium cover so the cone filter doesn't touch or suck the cover. It works like a charm! :)
