If so, did it make much difference in reducing road noise ? Where did
you apply it , and, is there space above the wheel wells black plastic
lining ?

Thanks, Dave

Once the tires were changed, the overall sound level dropped below that
of the C4. Further reduction is achieved by turning my hearing aids OFF
and the radio UP. Difficult now to hear the passenger but, one can't
have everything! (:-)

What ever you do don't put Michelin tires on it because they are noise
generators. Many kits and insulation instructions out there on the net
in the forums. Then there is the kit offered by Lingenfelter
http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/20455.html plus a number of others.
Peltor has the best noise reduction system available.

My question has nothing to do with C5s and C6s..
...but is there a seperator available for c3s ?
I usually keep my gym bag and a duffel with cleaning supplies and tools
for the vette in the rear compartment... Is there sort of a seperator
with the vette logo in the center for c3s anywhere ?

I know c5s have one.. see link below...

I have a foil insulation in the tunnel where the xpipe goes. Helps with the
heat mostly and some sound.
