Dog House Insulation

Over the winter I installed the Summit Racing Thermal/Acoustic Hood Liner to the doghouse of my 2018 Alante 31V. A bit tricky to get the doghouse off and on but well worth the effort. Took our first spring trip for a week to the Grand Canyon and the insulation reduced the interior noise by 75% and temperature by 100%. I can now talk to my mate in a normal voice through all of the shift/RPM points. I just ordered more product to insulate the floor under the driver and passenger to further reduce road noise. I will also insulate the generator compartment. I highly recommend doing this.

Seems like a really good idea. My 2017 C is fairly quiet. I could of really used that stuff on my old 96 C.

Sounds like something that I might try. Any hints, tricks or pictures on what is involved in getting the doghouse off?

Use the search. This subject has been covered extensively and one post is a photo pictorial of how to do it and add the Dynamat sound and temperature mat.

Pics of Doghouse Removal

Here are some pics of my doghouse removal from my Alante 31V. It's a bit of a challenge to get it off and on but well worth the effort to insulate it for sound and heat.
