New Insulation in Engine Compartment


My original insulation was deteriorating and separating from the firewall. I bought this Thermo Tec "Cool It" from Pegasus for $30 and really like it. Very easy to install an it really sticks!

Your engine bay looks about 1000 times better than mine. I've got some jealousy going on.

Nice man did you do the hatch too? Why did you choose this material as opposed to dynamat or similar.

Been wanting to this for a while

The sales guy at our local Pegasus store said he uses it on his race cars - he's always had good advice, so....

yes. The shiny reflects heat and the ~1/8" foam absorbs sound.

How is the insulation holding up? I am considering this as I have the engine out right now.
