It is hanging in one spot near where the intake is would be with the hood closed. I am afraid that the insulation could be sucked into the engine. My truck doesn't have the insulation so I know it's not necessary, but it does make the car quieter. Do you guys know of a way to glue this up or whatever with something that wouldn't be flamable. Is there a way to just replace it all. I guess I could take it all off if necessary, but I prefer to leave it up there to damper the noise.

I got rid of mine and noticed no difference in noise from the engine compartment.

On my old '81, I used some spray on rubber undercoating under the hood.  That seemed to 
work OK.
