My engine pad is crumbling. I was thinking of replacing it with Dynamatt. Has anyone done this? I think it looks a little nicer and the sound deadening properties are nice. What are your suggestions?
Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks again all |

So I.m wondering.
I can only wonder what the engineers were thinking when they put the pad there. My quess is that it was to stop heat transfer as well as sound...with more emphasis on the former. What say the collective? |

What say the collective? Heat. There is a dense rubber mat on the inside wall that would seem to be more capable of stopping sound. |
