actually the blanket is there to protect the paint on the hood from the heat of the engine. the engine heat can cause the paint to crack and blister.

No blanket. No problems. The AT200 didn't come with the insulation at all in the UK. I suspect it's just there for noise dampening. -------------------- JDM ST205
