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 |

IIRC on a previous thread someone suggested applying/affixing the "floor" tar to the back of the carpet rather than the to the steel that way it you benifit from the sound deadining If ever wet could be removed and dryed or if dual purpose (track/Street) and weight is a concern ...Yank it.
