Default Noise reduction with Blockit and Trunk Partition

I installed these two items to help with road noise and was blown away at the difference it made. The reduction in noise from the rear of the car is staggering, I highly suggest it if you are annoyed by tire noise. Be careful in touring mode you might fall asleep.

Has anyone removed the front fender liners and if so do you have any pics?

I am considering putting sound deadening up there to combat front tire noise.

TKO Performance any ideas on this?; Your rear kit dropped noise so much I can only notice the front.

I can't see that helping really. The wheel wells are in the engine cavity, insulating inside them won't help cockpit noise. The fender liners are just held on with screws and a few push pins, then you fold them in to pull them out.

The only reason I have not purchased it is because I don't want to take away any exhaust noise!

I too have never placed damping material in the front wells. Its the rear that always bothered me.

Unless your talking about the Dynamat he installed, the Blockit gets rid of tire/unwanted noise but lets the sweet note of the exhaust come through.
