Just a thought
There's another thread today discussing using perlon for the back pad and if it was quieter or not. Something I've notice is Some GM hood have their inner surface looking like a golf ball. There are 3" round divots and when asked about it I was told it reflects the sound back to the motor and that kills the sound.Anyone know if there is truth to this? This would of course be in the engine compartment. Kevin |

I used Perlon on the panel behind the seats and Dynamat on the firewall in the engine compartment. I also have a 3/4 inch thick aluminum foil covered pad covering the firewall, works pretty well with the windows rolled up. But most of the time I am cruising with the windows down listening to the tunes from the Triad West exhaust!
