Hi everyone,
I'm using my TF as my everyday car and unfortunately that means sometimes driving with the roof up. One thing I've noticed is that with the roof up my X-Power exhaust can be a bit boomy at 60-70mph. I know the real answer is to drive faster or with the roof down but failing that where are the places that some sound deadening material like Dynamat would make a real difference?

Its quiet an easy an cheap mod, you only really need two small bits

tools required, 1 cutting tool i.e. stanley knife
two fingers for rolling

cutting and rolling the above in to 1cm or half inch bits place one bit in each hand

take right hand and raise up, then left hand

place each bit from the corresponding hand an place near and then in to the corresponding EAR.....lololol


sorry couldn't resist it ...lol

That's far too simple for you. There's no hydraulics for a start

Nice one Jon!

I would try the boot floor first. Then, maybe the inside of the rear wings.
Perhaps a layer on the engine inspection panel?

your a bit stuck really as all the noise is coming from outside the car and then into the passenger compartment... if you had a hard top on it may be a different matter but you cant dynomat the soft top

you could do the engine access hatch and petrol tank access hatch but there sound proofed with that horrible stuff MG used anyway

doing the boot may stop some of the noise reverberating in the boot but it cant see it being allot of difference really the noise is still going to enter the car

only option would be a quieter exhaust or if you have a de-cat put the car back on (my de-cat made a huge difference but i wanted noise all the time lol)
