That’s the front floor pan. Both sides were cut. And yes on the wheel weights. Anything to keep the tactile response down…or hopefully nonexistent.

Don’t buy Hushmat…the CLD barely does anything and the damping pads do nothing…it’s physically impossible for a pad that thin to do anything. Look at Resonix for the highest quality sound deadening products on the market.

Cut big ass holes in the floorboards. lol

Today I got the holes cut, speaker rings aimed and mounted then the cloth pulled with resin and first layer of mat applied. 1 more layer outside and 2 inside tomorrow.

I don’t care.

Never measured it…just ran cable and cut it where I needed it.

This is the Street Pack pads…silver backer. This is Performance Pack pads. Not a great pic but it’s from someone who bought those pads and had them installed. You can clearly tell they have a black backer. I guess technically they’re all black, the silver part is a stainless shim that’s used...

Well…the Performance Pack pads have black backing plates. That was the easy way to tell if the dealer installed them in the early days when the cars shipped with the pads in a box and the dealership has to install them.

Cool…tons of peoples make noise. Are your front pad backing plates silver or black?

And nobody has asked which pads you have… There’s the Street Pack…which you obviously have and a pad “upgrade” package called the Performance Pack. The PP pads are well documented to squeak a lot…many people have had them swapped out for the regular SP pads to get rid of it.

You can unbolt the flanges and slide new gaskets in. You don’t have to redo the whole thing.

You’ll get different answers from different people but after I had the car apart and looked at how much panel bond was used to build the car and how few spot welds I didn’t want to take any chances on grounding issues so I ran power and ground to the battery.

Buy a proper grommet or bulkhead connector and do it right. I hate seeing power wire passed through cut existing grommets…you never know if there’s a sharp edge in there. It’s not worth torching a car for a cheap grommet and proper install.

Adams testing showed the AFe with a slightly larger increase in flow at the chargers over the FenFab. I’m not aware of any other independent testing done on either.

AFe front swaybar…and more stereo fab supplies. Oh, and the Hanks buffalo hide belt I’ve been looking at went on sale, so I snatched that up too.

Devils advocate here…but say this guy got his stuff submitted and was in the queue but Adam didn’t get to him before his vacation…then he goes on his very well advertised vacation. Well…there’s your 3 weeks and I can tell you firsthand that when I’m on vacation I answer exactly zero work related...

Grommets through the firewall directly behind the battery then contained in the oem plastic channel all the way to the back.

This has literally been beat to death here. If a person can’t make up their mind at this point they never will.

Concessions must be made when chasing the goals I’m chasing. There will be a covered 14 gauge expanded metal grille in place for daily driving. That will be replaced with a polished acrylic ring to hide the speaker flange but not the cone at competitions.

Now it sits until next weekend.
