it is kinda like a blanket for your engine. helps it warm up faster on cold mornings by keeping more heat in the engine bay. It also is fire retardant, just in case the engine decides to go up in flames.

Mine too has been removed. I removed it two weeks ago while working.. just because it is falling apart, and getting it'* **** all over my [now] clean engine bay. I had talked to my dad about this on previous occasions, and he said that it doesn't do much as far as heat retension, but that is what it is used for, along with keeping the noise down [again, not sure how much noise that little pad can block, but whatever floats GM'* boat].
