Daks' GTI

[Daks]

Decided to get bolts to replace the factory ones, as the plan is to do the mount on Thursday. Living in Canada is awesome.

Bro, if you ever want anything from the US and you're going to get pounded in the ass on shipping, just ship it to me and I'll forward it to you, which would probably be much cheaper overall. For some reason some companies charge out the ass for shipping. Did that for @DSC808 when CTS wanted something like $150 to ship the wastegate actuator extension harness to him in HI. Free shipping to me, and I plopped it in a flat rate box for $8... Obviously would be a bit more than $8 for you, but even the HPFP was like $35 to ship to you or something. If you need something from the US and shipping is like $100+, the option is there.

You are too kind - I'm going to call the shop I got the mounts from to see if they have the bolts - I think they were supposed to provide them to me anyway. I'll see where I go with that, if not, then I'll take you up on it. Thanks again.

Shop that I bought them from is going to ship them to me free of charge. Great customer service from WCT Performance.

Bought some Killmat. Gonna pop it in the drunk and front doors.

Had some experience with those folk too. Seem real solid. Also from my old stomping grounds in Markham.

good luck with the killmat! its a fun but trying process to tear the trunk apart (rather, to get it all back together especially the c pillars) but makes a great difference; get under the rear seats while you're in there. the hatch door itself is the source of many little rattles but the trunk floor is where a majority of the road noise comes from.

This homey did it a how-to.

I used his video when I did mine, didn't bother with c pillars. Made a nice difference and was an easy job

I wasn’t planning to either. Thought of just removing spare and rear seat.

After doing my while hatch i think youd be way on thw right track just doing the areas paralell to the ground - and the hatch lid.

A how to on the commonly incorrect way of using sound deadener products though…


That product at 100% coverage vs 30% coverage is neg. Since it’s made to stop vibrations and resonance of metal panels not to BLOCK sounds or trap frequencies.

Gotta do it right to get the biggest results when it comes to sound control. I did the 3 layer process on the front doors - crazy results but what a horrible process!

But doing it wrong still will get some results no doubt.
