Default Just an FYI

Forgot to mention this earlier but If you watched the video you notice me switching from the mild to wild in both the before and after vid's - One interesting side note - I added Dynamat Extreme about 2 weeks ago to my rear area e.g. from the lip of the front of the rear compartment to the tail light wall and inside the 2 buckets to either side of the rear corners. Had interesting results - Since Dnyamat is more of a stiffiner than a sound barrier I have quite different results. In the Mild mode it works really good and really reduces the noise radiating out of the area behind the seats but in the Wild mode it does very little - I guess if you follow the stiffiner path/idea, the resonance generated by two pipes is cancelled out mostly with the d-mate but the resonance generated by all 4 is too great to defeat? I expected there to be a reduction in both modes. However, regardless of my expectations the results in Mild mode work for her! Plus on a road trip over 2 hrs the drone can otherwise wear you/anyone out at some level... So the D-Mate Extreme did a pretty good job!

Glad you got it worked out! Honestly, at the end of the day engineering and science can only take us so far, its the thrill our customers are getting when they sit in the behind the wheel that is really establishing the Pfadt brand when it comes to adding big power. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out, let me know if I can help with anything else

How loud is your car at WOT? I had heads, cam, intake, headers (Lingenfelter package) on my old LS1. With the B&B Bullets the sound was almost unbearable on long trips!
