Re: New Mr. Gasket sound deadening

Tim,

I got spring loaded to the pissed off where road noise and sound dampening is concerned when I watched one of those "Test Drive" shows on Speed. They were driving an Audi, I think, and the tech rep says, "you might be able to build a car with better performance, but then you'd have a noisy, rattly, kit car."

I have been determined that my car will, in no way, resemble that remark. I don't think there is a material known to man, however, that will completely block out the engine when it is just inches from your ears [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] . My muffler is ineffective enough that the exhaust sound will also find its way into the cockpit with no problem.
