the door, prior to getting covered in Overkill... You can see what I was talking about..
If the holes had been larger, I would have definitely covered over them with something first.. (yes, there was a lot of bruses and cuts involved..lol) This gap here, I actually sealed up, just before I put the door panels on here last week, with Nashua Aluminum duck tape.. (like shown in the last pic, it's actually aluminum.. not that cloth crap.. stays forever..) EDIT: Doors are officially SEALED... A little clay added to make sure the spacers are sealed to the door... I didn't do it completely, I'm concerned it's going to melt.. lol..

I'm trying to get my hands around what plastic pieces I can cut off the door cards to stop them from contacting the mids...can you or anybody show a picture?
Freakin' rattles frustrate the hell out of me....ha ha ha! |

They are "ribs" on the back side in the general area of the speaker.. like reinforcement.. I took a belt sander to mine.. lol..
Note: Extended door pins installed and a bunch of old "peel-n-seal" from years ago.. You can also see the markings from me trying to "relieve" the door card around the speaker with a heat gun and a large coffee can (sitting on the floor in the pic actually.. lol..)

Ok so I read through the thread and didn't see it mentioned. How does it sound now? How far would you need to go to make a 06 STI sound more like, oh, a 06 BMW 3-series? I love the speed of the car but my wife *hates* the road and wind noise. I'm mainly concerned with killing as much road and wind noise as possible.
BTW, I weight 120lbs, so as long as we stay under 80 or so pounds of material then I still got 80% of the folks beat on curb weight Last edited by bp_968; 09-12-2009 at 09:50 AM. |

AFA the sound, it sounds great.. When I first got the car, it was completely stripped, even the factory sound deadener had been removed...
It WAS hard to scream to have a conversation while at highway speed... NOW, you can talk, normally, at highway speed.. And it's only going to get better as I recover my door panels with SS Overkill and fabric.. I've never been in a 06' 3 series, so I have nothing to compare to... ? |

About 5 minutes after leaving the dealer I'm wondering what a 335xi would be like instead of the STI. So instead I figured I'd find out how close you can get with sound deadening |

this is a nice job on deadening. I did something similar on my old Scion tC which I sold off about 3 years ago. I just haven't got around to doing any deadening on the WRX yet. Maybe one day.

hey aaron, can you post up a link to the place that gave you that you get your stuff from. im looking to seal up my trunk and doors. i figured since ive dropped 160 lbs off the car i can manage adding 60lbs of deadener. i figure for any weight i add, i can just ditch a passenger. as long as my girl doesnt have any passengers anytime soon i think it will work out.

How are you liking the weight to your doors? I did a ton of sound proofing to my doors and I was afraid if I went overboard the doors would be to hard to close right.

I just want to say thanks for this writeup and all of the pictures. I had a load of Raammat to install this weekend and the information here was invaluable.
