Default sound insulation....finally!!!

So today with the weather turning as it did...and me with so much energy.
I decided to do this mod. Took about 2 hours and I was able to Frost King the rear of the car. Larger pieces went in without a problem. Then I played a jigsaw puzzle with the rest of the sections. It got ugly quick!!!!!!
Lots of blood left at the scene.

But it did only take 2 hours and 2 1/2 rolls of Frost King. End product looks good!!!!!

ANyone in the area that wants help or advice....you might consider looking elsewhere.

Sound insulation. Hmmm. WTF are do you need that for. Those stock exhaust can't be making that much noise. Got to be for the run flats.
Looks like every thing came out OK
Welcome back Barry.

Nice job FJB. I did mine and without gloves on, you rip your fingers apart.

Now you have to take the rear wheels off and insulate in there. I did notice some improvement with the Frost King (though my non-stock exhaust is a bit louder than yours), but from what I read the real improvement is from the wheel wells...

Good job taking on the challenge. What is the next MOD - CAGS?

getting your priorities straight would mean to dump that crap stock exhaust and let the good rumble sound of a GHL fill the interior fo your car....

oh wait did your wife approve that yet? Oh sorry FJB I thought I was talking to Alex - no wait Alex has an upgrade maybe it is you...

oh nevermind....
