oh I see... so then why did Johnson stick the superlon with the smooth side out in the boot? Since the foam is more effective when it comes to sound damping right?
And why would you wanna keep the heat in the engine bay?

the material SuperLon's originally engineered FOR hot/cold insulation, working range of -40c till 110c.
but them engineers found out many new ways to use the product as it is also good for:
a)sound proofing
b)vibration absorption
c)car interior
d)ICE application
YES it's highly recommended to use it for your CAI.
it's great to use it in cars cause it:
a)sound proofing
b)keeps heat out
c)keep cool air-con in!
D)with sound proofing the car feels more 'solid'
e)with the soundproofing yoour ICE works better!

evan,
you'd need only
sharp knife
CA glue with an old credit card/brush
your time and effort
have fun!

NG comments...
1) Dunlop glu isn't mean for hot surface application... will not last long under the front hood. And when the superlon drop, the glue stain looks messy...
2) If the foam surface is facing upwards, it will thends to trap water and subject to rust attack in the long run...
Perhaps some clips and high temp double sided tape works much better?

1) yes...
2) no, but heard it from one of the forumer.
For problem no (1), actually can be resolve by adding some proper clips under the hood.
For (2)... i still prefer to stick the smooth surface to the hood instead. Open up the hood for over night every time came back from heavy rain can prevent the rust problem kua...

Well.. I am not sure about the CA under temperature will not last... Maybe I was wrong.
But Stanley, Myself and some others had already had it on for quite sometime now. No problem.. YET... Stanley had it in his Rally/track machine and mine for 'parking under hot sun' haha..
The foam side up with the glue, I don think water can penetrate to get into the foam. Maybe only the side which will dry up lke you said.
The reason why I stick the foam side up as I stated for the hood is so that it is easier to clean. My engine is 21 years old, oil, water and dust will get sprayed up to the hood. With the smooth side down. I just need to wipe it clean compare to washing with brush and all last time.
At the same time, The foam can help me prevent my hood from vibrating that much.

hmm
interesting. But i've no problems AND this is what everybody in the industry's been using to stick SuperLon!
maybe your friend didn't stick it properly? maybe even the surface is not cleaned of dust and whatnots that makes the glue doesn't stick properly also is a major factor..

OR..
The glue is not Applied evenly to Both sides (SuperLon and Bonet)
OR..
the Glue was not 'Dry' enuf before applying.
