I don't have any soundproofing/speakers etc behind the seats so thought I'd consider the engine bay side, so has anyone removed the thick fibre material? If so, was it easy and did it make a massive difference to the noise or heat in the cabin?

[chris_uk]

i know rik has done.. dont know how easy it is tho

[Zoobeef]

Nev may have i know hes removed quite a bit of sound proofing.

I think Vocky and Joe have.

POP if you're ECU isn't bolted through it! ha ha! Think I will cut the material around my ecu and remove what I can. The more I can hear the engine and the more weight I can strip the better!

I have no interior shelf, no interior sound deadening and no engine bay deadening - can't tell the difference but then I rarely have the roof on when driving

[The Batman]

Yup no sound proofing and was easy to remove! Still debating about taking speakers and cd player out.... Hmmm...

Did you unscrew everything that is bolted through it or just cut it out?

And can I do it all through the engine bay or do I have to take the undertray off?

[crazy-frog]

Good! Now you can start on mine!

can do it for you in a quick easily way....1/2 gallon of petrol and set fire to it

u have to unscrew a few pipe clips then reattach afterwards only worth it if you have clam and inlet manifold already off otherwise it'll be a complete arse

i unbolted everything as i got rid of my heater pipes at the same time well modified them you could probably cut round them though! i can only thing of the heater pipe P clips that are bolted to it that will get in your way.. .the rest should just pull off!

The fibre material only weights approx 1 Kg BTW.

Honestly, it changes a bit how it sounds, but it is not noisier
