Stock with Speaker Box
Rear Seat = 25lbs + MDF Speaker Box in trunk = 75lbs over rear wheels

After Rear Seat Delete and Fiberglass Sub Box
Fiberglassed Speaker Box = 30lbs + nothing = 30lbs over rear wheels

Sound Deadening = .35 lb/ft x 50ft^2 = 17.5lbs + 13lbs of VComp = 30.5lbs

30lbs + 30.5lbs = 60.5lbs of total added weight

You also have to remember that I have reduced weight with the coilovers and Tri-Link. I bet you I will still weigh less than a stock GT/Cobra when its all said and done with.

Adding 30 lbs wouldn't bother me. That's less than 1% of the total weight of the car anyway, and it's a street car, not a race car. Some creature comforts are worth the extra weight. We all (except maybe Craig and Edgar) still have our factory A/C, power steering, etc.

Whats creature comforts for, heck I would go on a diet during racing season just to loose a couple of pounds out of the car

I would agree with you guys, if and when you do not drive the car daily, that stuff will have to come out. But when your using the car for daily transportation it's nice to have a quit ride.

No heat gun needed for the B-Quiet

Did you get the little roller with it? I have an extra one if you need it.

Very easy to apply, just make sure you have it where you want it, because it doesnt come back up

I added about 70lbs with all of mine, but who gives a crap in a 5000 lb pickup truck (when you can make up for it with boost )

I didn't get the roller because I heard its the same thing as a carpet roller. I was told Lowes has them in-stock. Did I get some bad info?

Nope...probably the same thing, I got two of the rollers free with my orders

Cool, didnt know it could be done without a heatgun. I've only used dynamax which i had to.

We need an update, Nathan!
