I'm OCD. this took about 14 hours over three days. All electronics removed. Cubby done. None in the battery well, didn't think the conductive film in there was a good idea.

Great job and I'll bet that deadening material on the wheel wells will be a huge quiet down. You're hired!

Wow, you wrapped everything! Nicely done!

Now THAT is dedication.

Great job, did it help much?

Haven't had a chance to take it on the freeway yet. I'll review it soon.

You're a more dedicated man than I am. I put a Weathertech cargo liner over the rear carpet and then stuck ten sheets of Hushmat--$60 from Amazon--to the rear bulkhead and called it good. (Easy-peasy, since the bulkhead carpeting just pulls back into the cargo area making it easy to work with the roof off and the seats full forward.) It took an hour.

Any updates on your testing/evaluating this upgrade?


Would you happen to have any additional photos, perhaps of the steps you took?


Thanks.

You missed a spot.

Heh, heh. No, seriously, you should have (I hope you did) taken sound measurements before you did it, so you can properly evaluate the results.

I'm going to do that one of these days with my "drop-in" sound mat, to see if it really made much of a difference.

Used 2 layers of Fat Mat & covered everything.

No additional photos. There are plenty of write-ups on this. It's a tedious job, nothing complicated. Remove whatever you can (take photos of electrical components). Clean with alcohol. Cut and fit. Bed in deaden-er with roller tool and hair dryer. Tape seams with sound mat tape. I ordered two rolls from Amazon, could have used more.

I haven't added any more yet, but there's a noticeable difference in the perceived noise level. I didn't do any measurements Others have made the dB measurements, showing big improvements. A 10 dB decrease, halves the perceived loudness. A 6 dB increases doubles the Sound Pressure Level. There are multiple methods to measure "quietness".

now do behind the seats. And wrap the bass tube, sounds much better.

I have enough Rattletrap to do the entire cockpit. It's on the list.
