2002 monte ss Need new insalation under hood mines geeting ruff. Any ideas Ive owened my monte 11 days and love it black with rcr ground effects. Will take her to shows its limided edtion on speedo. thanks for any help Im sure ill be asking for more help thanks guys

 

GM Parts Direct lists the hood insulator. It runs about $120 + shipping. You might be able to find a better price by doing a www search.

 

if you want a semi-custom one...

Car Motorsports - Buick Monte Carlo Underhood Insulators

its towards the bottom

 

Not to take away from your search, but just a suggestion, you're probably better off without insulation.
Less heat in the engine bay.

 

hotter hood though no? im tired of seeing my crappy hood insulator, i might throw that crap away tomorrow!

 

Never seen a peeling/rusting hoods on these vehicles before.
Unless of course wreck, body damage. :P

 

I also do not have any insulator....but I also took mine out do to the reason Jomao mentioned. We SCed Montes need to try to keep the heat down and with future mods in the works....I fear that it would just get in the way.

 

Great looking custon insulators bit pricey Would taking it off hurt the paint inside or out will it get the paint to hot and will the noise level go up?thanks

 

As far as I have noticed, it has not hurt the paint on any of the cars that I have seen without the insulators. As for noise, yes it will raise alittle bit but I really don't notice it because of the airbox and supercharger. If I am just cruising down the highway, I only hear the exhaust but if I get on it then it is the supercharger. Granted, if I still had mine installed then it would quiet down the supercharger but I like to hear it. The supercharger sound/badges keeps some people from wanting to street race me.

 

i kinda like mine:
