Ebay-Diesel Sound Shield

[rwthomas1]

Some of you know from time to time there is a guy selling "diesel sound shields" on Ebay. I bid/won one on pure curiousity and the fact that I am too lazy to do what the TX crowd did with the quilted fiberglass from McMaster. The shield is suprisingly small and appears well made. I fits reasonably well but could be better. It does work very well at what it is supposed to do. Cabin engine noise is significantly reduced. It is still there but nicely muted and on the highway I notice the wind noise much more now. I should mention that my car badly needs a hoodpad so I don't know how much that factors into the engine noise I was hearing to begin with. Anyhoo, the little bugger just drops in place and sits on top of the back of the motor and wraps around forward to the injection pump. It stays where it is put and does its job well. Try to win one if you are so inclined. RT
