Dynamat Hoodliner and Extreme Under the Hood
Just completed Dynatting the hood. First placed Dynamat Extreme in strategic areas under the hood. Specifically placed in the open spaces where the metal is the hood, not the frame. Then measured, cut and installed the the hoodliner. Used metal insulation tape around the perimeter to give it a more finished look. Everything took less than 30 minutes to complete.
Test drove it and the first thing I noticed was the elimination of that truck-like sound in first gear at higher rpms. The sound we all know and auto journalist complain about when reviewing the car. The cab is significantly quieter and the mechanical noise has moved from the engine to the rear rear of the cockpit and specifically exhaust note.
This worked great on my car. I also think I gained an additional 8 horsepower at 5250RPMs.
Cheers.
