Very much so! I have 4" exhaust so it was not quiet to begin with, but now Take this and add the solid mount torque arm, control arms, pan-hard, yada, yada, yada and you get the picture. I think I am going to yank the CD player and speakers since I can't hear them anyway.

sorry it took so long... I did not have to glue it down, but I will glue the back seat area down once I cover the hatch area with the Ozite.

Ok, I put the Ozite in the rear and glued the back of speeds carpet to it. I like the look and it was easy. P.S With 4" exhaust and pro pump, I might as well dump the radio cuz I can not hear anything but Buzzthupsputterbuzzzzputthumpbuzz.

Very nice, looks professional . What shifter is that? I've been looking for one, even ran a thread about which one to get. That's the best looking shifter I've seen. Thanks George
