Below is a link to pics of my original Ram Air car.....I hope this helps you.....And no there was no insulation from the dealer on ram air cars, The dealer installed the Ram Air pans and most likely removed the hood insulation when installing them......The hood was cut at the dealer for the pans to fit proper I will try to attach a picture of the cutting as well. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/johnm1957/?action=view¤t=32ba34d2.pbr
