Yes you can remove the insulation but it's a very messy situation. I had to use a wire wheel on my grinder to get it off. The noise level can be very loud or not noticeable at all. It all depending on what road surface you're driving on. As for the heat insulation, the HVAC system is so great on these cars I never find it getting too hot or cold.
