Should of explained, the 8mm is for the areas it fits, like wheel wells. The foam also peels down to 2 mm just as use as decoupler for the MLV. so 6mm added in total. Under the carpet there is recyled foam, that is removed and there are no issues.

I have mates with mercs and bm's and in real terms they are no quieter, if anything the drone off the low profile tyres is more invasive than a bit of motor noise in a Jimny. At least Dreadnaught is quiet, are the new ones that bad?


A bit of noise reducing improvement is always welcome. The rain and crud in the wheel wells is almost eliminated. Its worth it to me. Others may feel it os not needed or nessersary, and thats perfectly fine.

All the best.

Thats fair enough I just didn't think they were that noisy to start with. Are you going to put the foam stuff behind your headliner too for some thermal insulation?

I did a similar job when I fitted rear speakers. It was worth it in my opinion.

Ahhaa... interesting point my lord, funny you should mention, as i am just about to take it off in a mo. Guy on FB has taken his head liner out no problem. The stage 1 will work wonders with the wind noise. Pictures to follow.

Cheers.

Hi Grima, thanks for the vote.of confidence!! Its a lenghty job and its easy to feel disheartened. Did you do much sound proofing?? How much of the car did you manage to do?
