Project Quiet Cobra

Sendero · 03-15-2005, 11:58 AM

Well, I finally bit the bullet today and ordered me some b-quiet sound deadening material. 50ft^2 of the Ultimate stuff and 13.5ft^2 of the VComp. I know this won't cover the entire interior of my car, but I mainly looking to cover the floorpan and the rear seat area. Since my suspension in the rear is now solidly mounted to the subframe I get a lot of transmitted noise coming through the floorpan. Hopefully this will kill most of the noise.

KBZilla= Got any advice?

Stay tuned for pictures of the install.

I got some advice, make sure you have a good heat gun and welders gloves are a nice addition to allow you to work with it easier in the direct heat

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

It will even out with me removing most of the stock sound deadener plus my reat seat delete. I will stay close to street trim weight.

You mean the rear seat delete/speaker box?

I know that speaker box weighs more than the rear seat.

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.
