I ran my car last summer without a hood liner with no apparent issues. It looked nicer and I only re-installed it because it was pissing me off in the closet and the hood was a nice place to store it

Yeah what happened there Emil St-Hilaire?

I also had it off on a previous car, no problems for me though.

So it didn't "smoother" the fire?

There's no way that thing would ever smother any fire. In order to smother a fire, it would have to cut off the oxygen supply. The engine bay has too many holes, gaps, etc.
