Good morning, hope everybody’s having a good week so far. I know that from the factory there was padding in the engine compartment as well as having an interior back pad. My question is if I put additional sound deadening on the inside and then the back pad is that roughly equivalent to the sound pad that was in the engine bay originally?
I’m sure not having the pad in the engine compartment does lead to increased noise, but not sure how dramatic of an increase that would be with a fuel injected car. I know this is a subjective topic, but looking for experiences and thoughts if you don’t mind sharing them. I’d like the car to be civilized and usable for fall day driving without feeling overly fatigued ( which I am comfortable doing another vintage cars and don’t feel the need to have a modern vehicle to do ). Thanks! |

maybe check what you have. In stock dress 73-76 914s out of the box were very quiet. Maybe something is going on with yours like a loose back window an exhaust leak an aftermarket muffler, no floor pan tar, no insulator pad UNDER the back pad, no engine insulator pad, carburation!!! or stainless steel heat exchangers
