Interesting that you find the BCS drones  :surprised:

I remember someone mentioning covering the boot floor in sound deadening to get rid of the drone from their Milltek  :laugh:

That should help :happy2:

Or ask Nige to swap it for the "prestige" model. . .

I've got the prestige one...it's when you step on it that the misses go mental..have to drive like a granny under 60 on the motorway,as soon as I build up boost its quite loud in the cabin.

The powervalve shouldn't be any quieter than the prestige system.

The PV is basically a prestige system off boost and a sports system on boost.

Boot floor and under the rear passenger carpet.

Dynamat is very expensive I just bought some stuff from Ebay for like £60 for 2 x 20m by 30cm rolls and been fine. Need a heatgun to apply it as it's very stiff when cold.

What about the underneath the rear seats?
Anyone heard of clearcoat...
Might get some dynamat extreme or ultralight

I wash thinking under the rear bench too, although I'm not sure if you could safely get the seats to fold back down with sound insulation in there too.  Also It might not do too much more than the foam of the seats is already doing.

You can put it wherever you want

As I said do not buy dynamat as it's 3 times the price and not really any different... you're paying the name.  :indifferent:

I've used Silent Coat previously and been pleased with results.

Sounds more like a fault with your misses than the car being too loud  :wink:

Take a look here, a few good options and the tools to apply it. If it's the exhaust thats the complaing the first place i'd start is under the carpet in the boot. If you've ever driven with your back seats folded down you'll know how much louder it is back there!
