Although not all cars are factory equipped with insulation or a liner under the hood, installing one on your car has several benefits. Made of a thin dampening material, the insulation under the hood mainly reduces engine noise, providing you with a quieter drive. It can also help keep the paint under the hood last longer. This is especially true if you have a show car, and you just decorated the underside of the hood with a graphic design or decal. Another reason, although debatable, why some motorists install or replace a busted insulation is that it acts like a fire retardant. In some cases, some motorists have found out that once a fire starts under the hood, the liner or insulation material can suppress the fire for a few more seconds. These precious seconds can give motorists more time to get out of the car before the fire blazes out of the hood.
