The original purpose of the Frost King is to insulate HVAC ducting, so it will definately help with in-car HVAC. That Corvette discussion/how-to is what actually got me into using it in the first plac...

Would it not be better to apply the mass loading material directly to the panels, as the point is to increase their mass and thus reduce the frequency of their vibrations to inaudibility?

It's also where in the doors you put it -- if you're putting the carpet padding/foam into the doors, it's best to attach it to the inside of the interior trim panel, so that the weather seal is betwee...

Guess the lack of underpad helps explain the lower weight of the early sixth-gens to the fifth-gens; I know every fifth-gen I've ever seen, including ST models, had the padding in all three areas I me...

I tested the duct insulation myself, and found it's not closed-cell foam, so it will soak up water. However, it seems to dry out well.

Putting the padding on the interior side of the weather barrier should be fine -- after all, this is the same area where you find wood and glued-on vinyl, the design has to keep water away. The water ...

Not a sixth-gen owner, but if your bushings are set up like a fifth-gens, the brackets will be asymmetrical unlike the generic ones. However, I'd be greatly surprised if you could not get replacement ...

And then there's the expensive possibility -- bad bushing/bearing in the suspension arms. Those are US$90 each, and there's four of them. Typically, it's the No. 2 suspension arms (the rear arms of th...

If your radiator is cracked, you don't want to reduce the amount of coolant in it -- that's the whole problem with a leak, actually.

Good quality polishes will do that, as they include paint cleaners as well as abrasives to level the finish.
