Engine bay foam

Engine bay foam
I see a lot of Rx8's with the Foam that surrounds the engine bay removed. I wanted to rip all mine out since it makes it look a lot better. My question is if I remove that foam like substance is it going to damage anything?
Thanks guys.
This is a random rx8 with the foam

Your intake scares me.
But yea, I was also thinking about removing the hood foam, would imagine that would reduce under the hood heat, the engine will make more noise but who cares about that when its a rotary?

I think, and I may be wrong, but I believe it is mostly for noise insulation and I don't believe it should affect temperature very much. The hood will probably get hotter since it is being more directly exposed to the engine but I don't believe it will affect it negatively. I say go for it and tell us what you think!

I noticed a slight increase in Engine noise when your outside the car, standing up front. You can here that little weeeee noise that we all have a little bit clearer.
The temperature gauge did not go up what so ever. and I drove it non stop for like an hr, hard.

only kidding. So basically it helps a bit in noise reduction, doesn't weight much to make a difference by removing it, and ultimately is a safety feature, so best to leave it on?
