Just a thought

There's another thread today discussing using perlon for the back pad and if it was quieter or not. Something I've notice is Some GM hood have their inner surface looking like a golf ball. There are 3" round divots and when asked about it I was told it reflects the sound back to the motor and that kills the sound.Anyone know if there is truth to this?

This would of course be in the engine compartment.

Perlon is a very lightweight material. You will hardly get any sound reduction from only using it. What you want to do is use an automotive sound deadening material (spray or sheet good) and then cover it with Perlon.
