How is your pump mounted?. Here is mine, a Holley. It sounds like a coffee grinder, doesn't have the 3 second shutoff feature of the stock pump, and is louder than the engine itself @ idle.

Howard,
Do you have insulating material behind your interior back pad? I ran my car without the stock rubber mat for a while and was really surprised at how many noises were muffled after reinstalling it. My carter electric pump is mounted in the same location as yours. I can just hear the pump while at idle with quiet mufflers (Borlas). Any forward speed at all and the pump noise is gone. Running my 40 series Flowmasters drowns out the fuel pump noise. I'm going to give the rubber isolators (as recommended by carter to reduce noise) a try one of these days. John |
