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. Kevin |

QUOTE(nivekdodge @ Aug 10 2023, 08:12 PM)  Just a thought There's another thread today discussing using perlon for the back pad and if it was quieter or not.

This would of course be in the engine compartment. Kevin Last week I was at a dealer looking at a Mercedes GLB since I need a new SUV. Popped the hood to look at the engine. The sales guy pointed out the divots in the underhood bracing without my asking (I was interested in the engine - didn't even notice the hood). He said they are designed to reduce head impact forces in a collision with a pedestrian. That is a bit more believable than the reflecting sound theory... but I don't know the real answer either. |
