Hey Chimv8
Have you done any soundproofing in the cabin before putting carpets in? I want to do this! Remove some of the resonance and road noise...

Am ordering a new set of carpets myself now and will be adding some sound proofing too. It's all about what type of noise you want to hear...
ive looked at dynamat and fatmat extreme, also some paintbased stuff, If anyone have experience in what works in a GRP car, let us know OleVix said:

TBH my personal opinion on this is,if you have a coupe/hard top maybe you need it,but top down whenever you can,cant see the benefitHave you done any soundproofing in the cabin before putting carpets in? I want to do this! Remove some of the resonance and road noise...

I love my chim but on some trips I do 10 hour stints in it. It can get tiresome with the roadnoise. Exhaust sound, I feel, is not an issue.

Lovely clip Ole and not a pot hole in sight!Video
Things have slowed down at present as we are waiting for the interior to be installed along with front windscreen.
Thought i'd share how well the exhaust fits.
Bought the s/s exhaust of a PH member, who had sold his Chim a number of years ago,and never got round to fitting his new one done by a friend of his,was stashed in the trusses of his garage.
Needless to say, mine came without one, so took the chance, and i am well pleased with the gamble,all we need to know is what she sounds like!!
By the way she is connected to Clive's Y piece to complete the look
