Working on the 914 all afternoon, Dynamat, door pannels, etc...Pics Options

Finally had time to do some stuff to my 914 today.

Put Dynamat on the firewall; PO removed the pad.

Bought now speaker ports and door pannels from morphenspectra; nice stuff.

Check out the pics.

Before.....

Yes - I have driven the car.

Of course I did the obligatory post work test drive past Dan(Almaden Valleys) house (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) . Everything worked.

So the real test was the drive in to the office today; 42 miles with 30 being freeway miles. From the seat-of-the-pants decibel meter there is a clear difference. I would describe the difference as a muted difference verses a reduction in sound difference but certainly a reduction in overall db's. I was able to listen to the radio at a lower volume at the same freeway speeds as before but remember I moved my speaker positioning too so that might contribute. The bigger test for me was I was able to hear the phone conversation I had on my way in to the office much better than I could before.

All in all I am please and it did make a difference. I bought enough Dynamat to the inside of the firewall (inside cab) too. That will be done later.

Heat transfer difference was a bit harder to determine. I would like to think it made a difference.

Hope this helps.
