Another possible material to use is rockwool insulation. It is mineral based insulation that they use both for sound control in interior walls (specific product) and R-value insulation for walls and attics (also specific product). Can't find it for a reasonable price on Amazon but Lowes sells it...

My only concern is the warning label associated with the product. under the product description in the listing on Amazon. DANGER All ceramic fiber products have a hazard communication warning label and prop 65 warning for airborne fiber inhalation. Please consult the Safety Data Sheet for...

I would not touch the front subframe at it is designed to fold upon itself in a heavy front end crash. The subframe will basically fold over. I have seen crash test video footage doing just that. The ultra racing front subframe bar seems like it would restrict that movement. watch around...

Can you look at the performance mode. It is not showing performance data such as 0-60 mph or 1/4 mile times.

👍👍 Just be careful with the clips - that was my issue when I removed the panel. My car only had 2 bolts on each end and no middle bolts. There were no holes for those in the battery tray…

Yes this is the video. Really good stuff.

You might want to check out this latest thread on the subject. There have been a lot of threads discussing the pursuit of a quieter car since 2018... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-3-road-noise.275331/

I concentrated on the front section and behind the seats. Using the same stuff - not a huge improvement as you mentioned also, but noticeable. I also did the interior of the rear wheel wells. Removed the subwoofer to get behind there - used dynamat material + foam and also stuff thinsulate...

I took off the lower plastic rocker panels. The ones that are in between the road and attached to the body. There are two main screws - one at the front and one at back (you need to lift up the plastic tabs to access those screws). There are more tabs but there are no screws in those areas - at...

Sounds like a fun project. On the rocker panels, just be careful when you pull them off - as I mentioned above. But I am very happy with the results it made on my car. I think the reasoning behind not putting any sound insulation under the carpet is the fact that the battery - being so...

After basically tearing my car apart (2019 M3), in search of more silence... I wanted to share what I did just recently. I have already partially put a layer of dynamat and a layer of 4 mm foam (on top of the dynamat) in the area between the driver and passenger seats and the fire wall...

Performance mode not working right. Has anyone experienced a problem with the performance mode? I have the newest update on my iphone 13 pro. The speed is way off and sometimes shows 20 mph slower. It does not record any acceleration times. This is a recent problem as it was working...

More to my point about crash testing you can check out this crash test video. Go to 40 sec. mark to see how the front subframe compresses and folds over in front crash. I would think additional braces like the Ultra Racing braces would hinder the way the subframe is supposed to collapse...

Looks very interesting. I like how it ties the rear lower control arm mounting points together. Not sure how effective it would be given that there is still a large section of the front subframe that is open and not tied together. I have seen other ones from Ultra Racing for the front...
