[C320-list] Engine cover soundproofing material

[Chris Burti]

Scott,
I just purchased Soundown and will be installing it this Spring. Recommended by several members. Will not likely be available locally. Best price I found was through Defender or eBay. One inch foam with an acoustic barrier. Visit their website for the science of why the cheaper auto insulation will not do the job. 

Corollary projects to consider for sound and vibration reduction include replacement of motor mounts if over a decade old and technical shaft alignment that includes checking coupling face alignment for square. 

Best Regards,
Chris Burti
