Default Noise reduction

I just finished removing my rear wheel liners and placing aluminum heat/sound insulation over the top/inside of the liners. I can't believe the noise reduction - I can actually hear the exhaust and very little tire noise driving on the highway. If someone were to explain how to post pictures I would be happy to do so. $20.00 in material from Lowes (found in the home insulation dept).

Top picture is the wheel well liner covered with aluminum insulation and secured with aluminum tape, bottom picture is the inside(top) of the wheel liner - some sort of felt material.

Found at Lowes - Reflectix Attic unfaced reflective roll insulation - bought the 24 inch roll instead of the 48 inch.

C74 what an awesome solution so many complain about almost for free and looks like material is super light and those liners are easy to remove and it works. Win win win win. Good one.
