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 |

You can attack the firewall problem but in the end the rear window will become the loudest transference of noise. I think the OEM engine bay rubber pad glued to insulation gave pretty decent results. I might suggest adding dynamite to the interior of the firewall in addition to the oem engine bay pad, then call it quits. Rich Just drive very cautiously if you add that dynamite… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
