No it is acctually better for your car. First off it keeps the vilosity (sp) of you exhaust high and gives you more hp. Then it keeps your inside nice and cool. i have read this many places

If your that worried about it get some dynomat that is used for noise reduction and put it on the firewall. Garenteed to work. If you want to be cheap about it you can get some plexiglass and put it near the hotspots of the firewall.

if you want it real cheap you can go to lowes and get the same thing (without the logos) for really cheap. It's the same thing used for insulation in thin walls. It's about a cm thick and basically has insulation in between 2 layers of silvery reflective stuff. If you cant find it you can buy a dynomax trunk kit off ebay for like 30 bucks.

the stuff I'm talking about is the stuff used in factories in the chimneys. Some lowes have some dont. Another thing I just thought of is this stuff I used on my firewall whe I changed my carpet. You can buy it at walmart or Advanced auto and its called rubberized spray. Now that ---- worked good as hell. Only problem is that each coat takes an hour or 2 to dry. It's in a spray can bottle and is about 2 bucks a can. You'll probably need 5 cans to do the jobe right. When I changed the carpet and spripped the car down I sprayed the whole interior down whith 5 coats (12 cans or so) and that stuff worked great. It;s just like spray paint except when it dries it gets poofy and rubbery. Another thing that would be easy would be leak stop (you know that foam ----). Would be easier and less time consuming. Damn thats a long post.
