Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Removing all moulding (behind eats) on 308 GTSi

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Yup.

My son's Maserati coupe has straight exhaust (no mufflers).  His
neighbors hate it, but he is bummed because the car's insulation
blocks the noise inside.  He's looking for easy places to strip
insulation from.

I keep getting notifications from XM radio to subscribe.  I try to
tell them that my QP Sport GTS has a better sound track than anything
they can provide.  Made a couple of cross country road trips without
once turning on the sound system.

Proper insulation level is when you can barely hear a passenger yell at you.

I might subscribe to XM radio if they can pipe in a vroom vroom sound
track into my Chevy Volt.......

Hans.
