Wow, MaxSpeedingRods has their own compressor covers now! Not that it makes it any better... but, it is a development.

For what they price them, I almost feel like they pay you to buy the turbos

picked up the overhead console and shift boot

Did some more sound deadening, found out they had already put some on the roof which I guess is good

Driving down a gravel road it makes a huge difference. The wagon is silent. The Monte sounds like a tin can.

I did the same with the Monte and honestly I didn't hear a huge difference from when I took it racecar mode to the Pizza Power Tour but I figure it's worth a shot

I did the floor & roof of my CC dually (big block; 1.75" full length car headers; dual 3" head pipes w/H pipe into 3" In/Out dual turbo style mufflers reduced to dual 2.5" tail pipes) w/the vibration absorbing mats. That's a good start, but adding a closed-cell foam layer & Mass Loaded Vinyl layer over those vibration deadening mats damn near sound-proofed it it's so quiet inside.

Now that I think back I believe I already had the Monte sound deadened before taking it racecar out and about. Thanks for the heads up I may try this stuff since I believe the 15's will cause havoc to the panels

Open Cell vs Closed Cell Foam - Automotive Sound and Heat

Understanding the difference between open cell and closed cell foam will help you decide which is right for your project. Applies to automotive and more!

That's where I got my stuff. It was my first time using a more aggressive 'insulation' approach so I wasn't sure if it was worth the additional coin (the stuff wasn't cheap).
I was/am pretty happy w/the results.

Well since build season is almost upon us hopefully I can get the Monte right and back to finishing this over the winter
