It was ez to install. I did mine right cat the car show. 10-15 mins. May be faster to remove the engine grill/lid but either way it is not difficult to install with the engine in and all accessories place. Its a little snug by the ECU mount on my 75, but slides right in place none the less.

Road noise, how do tires factor into the mix?

attaches with factor metal tabs and 3/ 4 push in fasteners from the engine compartment


Are those push fasteners available for purchase anywhere? Can't seen to find them.

You can pick them up at your local NAPA. Can't remember the part number, but they are easy to find.

Neither of my '72 cars have holding tabs or any holes for the plastic clips.. is that correct and what's the solution - I was thinking rare earth magnets, but... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Just ordered this for my 914-6 conversion. I like how light it is, hopefully it helps to cut down on the noise.

jmargush, I did the same thing last year, interior tar mat, then 1/2 foam and then thin layer of perlon carpet. I do not have anything on the engine compartment wall. It nocked noise down by more then half. I do have Ben's sport muffler so that end is pretty loud. Mark

Hi Mark,
Love your interior! Looks awesome. Just a little concerned not having head rests for safety. Take care!

@Root_Werks I would love to hear your opinion after the install. Pics of the install would be nice too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@Cairo94507

Will do. I've only had one 914-6 with the engine bay pad installed. It's a tight fit around the edges of the fan. Very curious how this will fit and stay in place.

Installation was easy, holes all in the correct spot. Hopefully drive tomorrow and listen for reduced noise.

Drove today, it certainly makes a difference and worth the money. I wish I had a before/after DB meter reading for folks. My ear says the cabin is quieter.

Something else to think about. The problem is 6's never came with the sound deadening pad on the engine side of the firewall and they look so nice without it. I am going to have my back-pad off soon to replace the rear glass, I will look and see if anything more can be done on the interior side to provide a bit more sound deadening.
