^ That's a good combination; it's there when you feel the need.

Captain Slow · 02-05-2013, 12:47 PM

Wish there was a way I could make my Medalion Touring just a LITTLE quieter...think I might stuff a blanket in my spare tire well.

cali yaris · 02-05-2013, 12:57 PM

Have you coated your wheel wells yet? Makes a pretty big difference, maybe not so much with the exhaust, but with outside noise in general.

Captain Slow · 02-05-2013, 03:53 PM

no. with what? just some of that spray undercoating stuff?

cali yaris · 02-05-2013, 06:42 PM

yes -- people have posted up a few pics here and there, dating back to the beginning of this site. I know you can get decent stuff in a can, just CLEAN well and mask off what you don't want painted - I think it's textured black.

Just for clarity I am talking BEHIND the fender liners on the METAL surfaces of the fenders/wheel wells. It does make a difference!

I used Herculiner, which is a brush on bed liner and it made a significant difference:

^ They did a whole bunch of things to reduce cabin noise -- intake system, exhaust system, firewall materials, etc.

tooter · 02-12-2013, 11:48 PM

I get more tire noise than anything else, and think it's a combination of hollow spoked alloy rims and inherently noisier tires (Bridgestone Potenzas). Still I don't have any real complaints because the exhaust makes such beautiful music.

Also got a pleasant suprize... my first registration renewal. It was only $187... and this is for a one year old car. My 17 year old pickup truck is $93.

My 01 Echo was considerably quieter on the intake side.

tooter · 02-13-2013, 11:00 AM

Mine's a little less quiet...

Is there another driver in you, tooter?

cali yaris · 02-13-2013, 11:16 AM

^ Tooter, a great project for tire/road noise is to treat your wheel wells with undercoating. Herculiner is a great product for this (but there are also spraycan products readily available) and you'll get a noticeable result.

CrankyOldMan · 02-20-2013, 06:35 AM

On a mildly related note, I've just picked up a Blitz S/C, and I'm already thinking of how I can make it work on a 2ZR-FE swap. The first (and craziest) idea was to have a new manifold section cast from aluminum to mate with the wider bore pitch. Expensive, crazy, probably won't end well. The second thought was (drumroll please) to get an adapter made to mate a 1NZ manifold to a 2ZR head. And then it hit me: someone already did! Of course this assumes that the bolt patterns and bore pitch are identical between the two different 1.8L engines, but I'd say there's a pretty good chance of it being the same.

Captain Slow · 02-20-2013, 09:09 AM

^ beat me to the Blitz :(

haha

Good luck with it and hope to see some pics/vids once it's installed.
