Default C7 Hood Liner

Recently I had a Magnusson 2650 installed on my C7 Stingray. It seems that in doing so, and while it does fit well, there was not enough space for the OEM hood liner which was removed. Is anyone aware of a "thinner" aftermarket liner that I could use?

Thank you

I don't know about the stingray, but the Z06 2017 and up I think is a lower profile. I have a 2.9 Whipple and don't run one at all.

So you're saying that your Z06 has no hood liner? My concern is that in the "stinger stripe" area on the hood, I have carbon fiber.

I was thinking about fashioning an OEM liner in the shape of a horseshoe around the Magnusson since the intercooler helps with that and the headers are the ones that really create a lot of the heat. Thoughts?

I don't think there is more than a quarter inch clearance on mine without a liner.

I think I am going to try and "engineer" a liner that goes around the Magnussen. Thanks
