Got a quick question for those of you that have installed new carpets...is there a need or rather a benefit of installing padding underneath the carpets to deaden some of the road noise? Or, would this not really benefit much given that the majority of the noise comes from the enging being directly behind the seats.
Has anyone installed carpets with padding or felt that it's necessary? Evan |

I struggled with this as well. This summer I removed the tar mats from the floor boards.
Ended up just putting the carpet down on the metal. I haven't really noticed any increase in noise. It is still loud as hell (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
