Ah yes, the endless debate.. Pros..cons.. both sides have them..
I do believe this pro outweighs any cons that may come with carbs. Sure they can be a pain, but isn't this worth it...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqYdAVjuaws |

I learned that when a factory failure let a rod go. If I wasn't audio blinded I could have saved that engine. Lesson learned. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Exactly. I use them on longer trip. They work on certain frequencies more than others. You can still hear everything, but it's cut back a bit. Keeps the wind noise from causing your ears to ring after a long drive. It's worth it to keep the roof off on longer drives, but I am actively trying to make the car quieter as well. |
