This may be a stupid question but... I decided to pull up all of the carpet, address any rust, tear out the factory felt insulation and then replace it with an alternate sound deadening, water resistant foam padding.
All was going well until I came to the passenger side of the vehicle...it's a 99 with the heatshield under the rear passenger floor. When I pulled the carpet on that side there was an additional layer of white insulation that ran along the path of the exhaust pipe. So my question is would it had been safe to have torn out the "important looking" (is if fireproof or something?) additional white insulating layer? I *really* wanted to remove ALL of the grey felt stuff but got a little hesitant at that point. Please post if you have any info, Thanks!
