Default Removed all the sound deadening material

Just got done pulling and scrapeing all that **** off. Took me damn near all day to do it. I am installing a 4 pt roll bar as well so I figured I might as well get that out of there while I am in there. All in all I say I removed damn 20 to 25 pounds of material - not bad at all.

Anyway my question is what are the effects of doing this? I mean except for noise and all that. Is there going to be a lot more heat? vibrations? etc...

thanks.

i guess.....maybe was it cuss his car's interior smelt like *** and i was wishin the trip was faster?! either way it got on my nerves....and no a/c

it was hot, stunk like ***, fumes from the "mufflers" that were right after the headers, and the echoing from no sound deadening. maybe i just had a bad experiance.
