Carb noise has to be the most annoying part of taking a long drive. I use ear plugs and it helps but it still annoys the hell out of me on long drives like my recent 1000+ drive to attend Rt 66. I have weber IDFs with cheapo K&N knockoff air cleaners. Would rain hats make much of a difference? I have insulation on the firewall already. Looking for some relief before heading out to WCR in a month. TIA

Insulation on the firewall, insulation on the engine lid, put the rain tray in, fab up an airbox and maybe put insulation on that....
