Never even realized it at the time I did it wrong, but boy could I tell the difference when I put it back right!
What insulation?

I think he is talking about the white piece under the black accordian boot. If you don't cover the hole properly with it, sound from the engine and trans will come in through the floor board.

Yeah-that piece of white foam. Big difference.
I am all for hearing the sound of the engine, but I also don't think I should have to have the radio turned up to "11" to be able to hear it!
