QUOTE (Dragondog @ Dec 11, 2009 - 2:44 AM)  its there for fire safety......it could help i guess to protect paint from heat damage but it mainly there to sufficate a fire incase u get an engin fire....the plastic clips that hold it to hood will melt when a fire starts and the fiberglass or whatever its made of falls on engin sufficating fire..........at least thats whats its supost to do..........i dont have one on mine either..... QUOTE (windowlicker @ Dec 11, 2009 - 4:39 AM) well it is fire retardant, but its pretty much used as insulation. by this it acts at insulation from heat and also for noise. keep in mind that not everyone that buys a car wants to hear it running, but actually they want the car to be quiet. not a problem removing it, and if its deteriorating, i would say take it out as the fire retardant that it was sprayed with is probably worn out and could become a fire hazard if you ever had it touch the exhaust or if a flamable liquid sprayed on it and ignited, could make the fire worse. lol. no it was quite on fire, i also thought it was flame retardant, i asked the fireman, he said "nothing is," while soaking it with the fire hose. LOL.

LOL. it was coated with flame retardant back when the car was made, but after time goes on it looses the coating. also because it has flame retardant doesn't mean its flame proof. |

I know its not flame resistant, im just saying, it didnt do much to deter the fire or stop it from spreading across the thing, from my experience, it was burning fairly strong. maybe if in the event there is a large fire and it falls on it like a blanket it might help. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
