Hmm, they didn't sound like a thin single stamped piece but knowing me I'm whacking it wrong.

Either way, it'd still be nice to quiet the engine noise a bit more

Drive slower. 2500rpm @ 70mph is the issue!

The stuff I did on my floor helped more with heat rejection and road noise than anything. So that was good!

Thats why I'm going AA on a T4 kit. No one else on this forum I've seen has one

If you go 238s youll need a big boy turbo. Maybe steal Edge's Holset
