I have a 2000 Fixed roof and wanted to see if anyone has used a Quite Ride Divider. I was thinking of getting one to cut the noise level down?

Is that some kind of trunk carpet or something? I'm curious as well. From what I hear though it's nearly impossible to sound deaden the noisy c5.

Default Noise reduction

If you mean the partition divider than yes it helps. I bought my 2000 FRC new and I think I purchased the divider about 2 weeks later. Originally it sounded like a Mack truck on the inside. What also helped to eventually diminish the noise from the run flats was TPIS headers, high flow cats, and a Borla XR-1 exhaust. The divider was cheaper though.

I bought a "Egg crate" foam camping pad ($13), cut it to width, then rolled, and stuffed 'um into all 3 rear storage compartments,(as they act like drums), BIG differance. Now the "SCV" control on the radio doesn't kick in 'till about 70 mph, it used to be at 35-40 mph.
