Here's a suggestion:

DEI makes great products, but I've never used this particular item. Not sure if the adhesive will work on the underside of a CF hood?

Mine also deleted...unless theirs a double tbread somewhere

But as I mentioned before cld matting like dynomat is getting rid of panel vibration resonance

Since you mentiond a turbo id imagine heat would be your main priority to control
Secondskin audio has 2 different heat mattings thatll work well

Thermal block is the better of the 2 for this situation

Heat wave pro woild work good for interior floorpan such as toeboard and transmission tunnel

May be my fault as I have identical post in "Paint & Body". I wasn't sure which location would be best. Thanks for your suggestions.

I figured that out later in the afternoon...thought I was losing my mind lol. One thing I wanted to ask is why not use the factory stuff after all it has the cool turbo symbol on it

The factory hood liner is expensive and cannot be cleaned. Hard to find too.
