If you are saying leave the tunnel plate off I would have to look into that before leaving it off. Seems to make sense tho.
no way... tunnel plate is structural... plus it blocks heat too

HUGE improvement on heat reduction on the tunnel and nothing else I want to do for that issue, literally feel no warmth from it now. The Killmat did help on the sound deadening imo, but not hugely noticeable like with the tunnel heat reduction.

The only thing I would do differently is use the Cool-It in the hatch/tub area instead of the Killmat to reduce the heat from that area. Any questions, happy to provide feedback.

This makes me wonder if any passenger vehicles out there across all brands come from the factory with this kind of insulation against heat and noise. Luxury cars or sports/high performance cars for passenger vehicle on public roads.

This is not scientific at all, but today was in the mid 70s and I was able to carry two Italian Ices in the cupholder and they made the trip home without melting.

No, because it's not the most effective way to do it. They would use carpet jute and thicket metal to be much more efficient.

It is said that Buick uses thicker glass to keep out the road noise.
