Updated -I am thinking of removing the standard backpad. Anyway, I have a couple of questions. What should I cover the firewall with, perlon or carpet? Pros and cons of either? I would imagine that the sound insulator would need to come out and then glue the perlon/carpet to the bare metal? Is there anything I can do to reduce the additional noise? where can I relocate the backpad light? Any help and or suggestions appreciated, got any pics of yours post them please! TIA
Completed changing the backpad to perlon, wanted to share a couple pics. |

Digging up this older thread.
No one has mentioned if there was a difference in engine /cabin noise going this route. Dynamat and perlon is the noise level comparable to stock padding etc.? |

Digging up this older thread. No one has mentioned if there was a difference in engine /cabin noise going this route. Dynamat and perlon is the noise level comparable to stock padding etc.? I used Dynamat plus a layer of foam Dynaliner under perlon on the inside, and then replaced the stock pad on the engine side with a foil-foam sandwich. It's not "quiet" but not at all loud. Most of what I hear (with the top on) comes through the rear window glass. |
