This is an old post, but I can throw my anecdotal evidence here...
Yes, I've done it many times under 80mph, and there wasn't even a little movement...unlike the aluminum hood that flutters when I'm going 60+, only one latch prevents that from flying off.
I'm just extra careful in hitting...
Hey Chris,
It does add weight, but not enough for me to notice a change in driving characteristics. Also I always use two people to take the rear clamshell off just because it's so large and awkward for the 2dr.
However that Dynamat superlite stuff looks great though, and since it's thinner...
It makes me super happy to see a good American business growing and thriving, and even happier to be a small part of that growth as a return customer. The fit and finish of your products are what make me come back to you.
Also, patiently awaiting your future shift knob offerings.
While I think the Mach-E branding is lame, if you want an actual Ford Mustang, you can still get a new one. The same cannot be said about the true Blazer.
Off-roading means a lot of things, to a lot of people. Rock-crawling, mudding, overlanding, field work, desert racing, etc....all different applications that require different skill sets and tools. It all boils down to "what do you want it to do?" - then you can go from there.
With that...
I installed both dynamat (butyl rubber) and dynaliner (foam) on my hard top, the doors, and the cargo area in the back.
Hard-top: Doing this area made the biggest difference by far. 10/10 would do again. I won't ever order the overpriced felt carpet you get from the factory.
Doors: You don't...
We live in unprecedented times with turbulent product launches, resource & supply restrictions, not to mention an incoming paradigm shift into electric vehicles which is highly dependent on polarized & fickle politics...
TL;DR - I don't know how anyone can accurately predict this stuff.
I just had mine done today for my MT 2.3L.
Initially, I was worried I wouldn't feel much, if any difference - at least until I got Dyno readouts. But it's definitely noticeable, especially in the low-end torque range. 1st finally feels like it should - a lot more responsive and peppier...
I rode in my 2 door's backseat a few times last summer, I'm having a hard time trying to empathize with the complaints.
Was there a relative unevenness to the temp? Yes. Just like sitting 2 feet in front of an AC feels different than sitting 4 feet away from an AC.
Was it the Sahara Desert...
@joeramirez It isn't Texas weather up here in the northeast, but we've certainly had a fair share of 90+ hot & humid days this summer. I'm happy to report no drooping. It works great, and now that I've had the experience of riding with someone with their factory headliner, my DIY option works...
I have the AFE Vulcan cat-back, and love it.
I just wanted more flow from quality build/materials - I'm not into an aggressive or obnoxious sound, at least from the 2.3L. The Motoroso sound tests showed only a slight increase in decibels, it really just changes the tone to a deeper, throatier...
