Re: [T3] MPG


<x-flowed>Heck, why doesn't some one nearby simply drive to the company and they can take measurements directly, plus see how it's installed. BTW, are there any differences between model years? Particularly between early/late models?

Although it's nice to see a company make such obscure parts, I think modern sound deadening materials would be better.

I used some stuff w/lead foil as part of its packaging in my baby and it works great. Got it from a leading car stereo shop and it's used on the transmission hump of vans. It conforms to the surface it's on, deadens sound and insulates against heat (coming into the cabin, NOT for engine compartment use). The nice thing about it is I just laid it down to fill the whole pan and I can simply lift it out if I need to get directly to the pan. Sorry, no pictures of it cuz my girlfriend has the digital camera right now (mother in town) but it's really nothing much to see.

What's interesting is that my Jetta doesn't have its sound insulation glued to the pan, it's just laying there and EASILY removed:
