Won't really hurt anything. Most standards don't have it. Most every auto does. Kills sound from the trans more than anything else from what I've found on my vehicles.

i generally rip the underhood insulation out when i get a new (used) vehicle. i rarely buy vehicles newer than 10 years or so, so by the time i get them the insulation is dirty, water and oil stained, and usually starting to sag. the rangers insulation was in pretty good shape comparativly, but i removed and stored it anyways. i didnt notice any difference in sound (trucks a 5 speed).

+1....You can go without it fine. If you are going for OEM look then go to LMC Truck.com. The have resto replacements in stock.
