I am ready to install my new engine and looking for thoughts on the firewall insulation pads as I would like the look of stock, though also the insulation of heat and sound coming from the engine compartment
I have sort of narrowed it down to 2, one is the one offered by 914Rubber (always great products) and one from AA, has any one experience with ether or other Ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks wes |

Lots of folks don't replace the engine compartment pad. My firewall is painted silver and reflects more light than a black pad would. Makes it a bit easier to see in there.
I had to fix some rust that happened behind it, so I figured it was a dirt and water catcher. I used B-Quiet, Jute, then the back pad on the inside. Quiet enough. Not a good picture, but the only one I could find with any view of my firewall.  |
