Default intake manifold cover

Is the purpose of the insulated manifold cover sound abatement or temperature control? No wild guesses please.

Has anyone removed and run without it?

I removed my wife's cover and insulation from the covers, they can only keep heat in, no big change in sound, with the NPP open you don't even notice it!!

to muffle noise as far as i know.ford uses it on some engines,some under intake and some on top..... i plan on removing mine, i figure it traps a lot of heat in the intake, and it's got to be good for at least 1/10 of a horsepower.........
