Anyone Ask About Interior Noise?

My first car was a 1974 AMC Javelin with the 360 MOPAR Go-Pack. That car was sweet. Eight track player and all.

I'm happy that Elio anticipates a very quiet ride..............and betting quieter than the Hornet, Gremlin, Javelin and the Nash Rambler...........I remember them all.

You know SOMEBODY will put one of the bumblebee tin-can mufflers on an Elio so it sounds like that crappy '89 Honda the kid down the street has

I think maybe a side pipe on the passenger side with a Supertrapp tuneable muffler. It'd go with the bike feel.

Polished stainless of course.

These guys from Fast and Loud know how to make your elio sound good.

I'm sure it will be a balancing act between adding sound deadening and keeping the overall weight down.

And price

What "passenger side" ?????

The movie "Bringing it Home" talks about the use of Hemp as an insulation material in automobiles in Great Britain. It is selected because it is less expensive, lighter weight, and more efficient both for temperature and sound than other materials. Of course they grow Hemp in GB while we import most of ours. Although I understand Kentucky is one of the states that now allows farming of industrial Hemp. :-) Z

Smartazz! Non door side of course, keep roasted shin syndrome to a minimum.

Would like to see that up here. WI was #1 in the nation in hemp production back in the day. From what I've read, a lot of our lighter more acidic soils that aren't as well suited to other crops grow hemp well.

CheeheadEarl:

Minor correction to you above statement. KY has obtained a limited quantity of hemp seeds for a couple of the agricultural departments at universities for study as to how best it might be raised. To date hemp cannot be legally grown in KY.

It looks too much like its very close cousin from the air, and makes it difficult to spot the no-no stuff.
