Applied the Second Skin Spectrum on the rear wheel wells this evening.

Best part: Did not even need to take the wheels off! After raising the car, I got in there n banged around a bit. The noise is on the outer 3rd of the wheel well, where it's ultra tinny! This is the source of the problem! The rest of the wheel well decreases in tone and makes a thud as you move closer to the frame and shock tower.

So I focused on the outer third and gouped on several layers. While waiting for it to dry, got under and polished the tips of the fast intentions exhaust.

Noticed while under that part there's this stock heat shield. Has anyone removed this to add sound deadening on the part above the exhaust? The FI exhaust is nowhere near this, but it's where the majority of exhaust drone will come from. Looks like 4 bolts remove it.

Car will sit for 5 days for everything to dry...
