Makes a fair amount of difference I believe.. only ran a wrapped one on mine..

I bought it from Cooltek but Demon Tweaks sell it.. as well as many other parts places..

thinkauto.co.uk do it per meter and you will need 10M if you give it about 25%-50% overlap. it does make a difference.

Thks, I'll try the wrap method first. I can see it reducing cabin noise, but don't imagine it'll change the exit noise much.
Any ideas on a quieter SS back box than the WRsport ?

Yes but who cares about the noise outside.. other people can worry about that!
