What did you do to your ride today

Got some exhaust rattle this morning on the way to work. Looks like I need to figure out a way to Hulk the exhaust far enough out of the way to get the rest of the new hangers in. :(
 
Yeah, the SQ is really pretty bad, but acceptable to me for a fully mounted car with a pretty loud exhaust. I am very into SQ in a good home two channel or theater system, but never cared much in the car. A car is a terrible space acoustically and is dealing with tons of noise, so you are never going to appreciate the kind of subtle details you can achieve with proper equipment.

That being said, I understand the quest for SQ, before my last kid was born, when I had space for a dedicated listening room, my two channel system had about twice the value of my car invested in it. Now that I'm space limited, I have put together a decent headphone rig for when I want to seriously listen to music. In the car it's just background noise.

Just real quick. I asked Eonon more on the specs, they said:
S/N Ratios: >85db
RMS?2.0Vrms±0.2V 10K ohm

My S/N is 99+ and preamps are 4v (Kenwood DDX471HD)
I asked more about their sound shaping (if the EQ is parametric and adjustable) and they haven't gotten back to me yet.

On the Eonon, you can always install a good Android player with all the parametric EQ and DSP options. I am running neutron player with high res FLAC off an SD card with the Eonon tone controls defeated and using the players EQ. Actually sounds pretty good other than the poor noise floor, but loud car mostly hides that issue.

Bought these center caps for my NT01s and put them on last night ( I know, not today). They were cheaper than the Enkei brand center caps and IMO look a little better.

Your only regret will be not doing it sooner.
Indeed. Going from no mounts to a good RMM is dramatic (in a good way). Going from RMM only to PMM too is also equally dramatic - it made a huge difference in how planted my engine felt. And when I added in the Damond TMM too, I haven't missed a single 2nd-3rd shift ever since (well over a year now).

I can vouch for that. I did the CS Stage 2 RMM and then the Damond PMM and love it. I am trying to decide on whether to do the DM or CS TMM. Any other good choices out there I am missing?

Only if you drive aggressively and miss shifts. That 3rd mount will def add some NVH. IMHO, 2 of 3 mounts is plenty for casual drivers. When you want to track, go to the strip, drive aggressively, etc., then the 3rd mount becomes more desireable. Also, when you bolt on a bigger turbo and start making a lot more power, there's a lot more engine movement forces to combat, which a 3rd mount can really help with.

DM FTW. I have a CS RMM and a DM TMM, and there is not a significant increase in NVH (Holy initialism Batman!). There is an increase in noise from clutch chatter and you can here the whine from the transmission more. But the reports of seeing your rear view mirror shake like other companies is not there. And TBH I have grown to like that feedback.

You all are still crazy. I have dm all the things and there is a very significant increase in nvh over stock.

It's all relative. Is it a significant increase over stock? Yes. Is it much less NVH being fully Damond mounted than fully "un-named" manufacturer mounted? Yes. I have much less NVH with all 3 Damond mounts than I did with only 2 of a competitor's mounts. I have much better performance too, including no longer having 2nd-3rd missed shifts during aggressive driving.

I had dm all the things too, but the nvh was minimal compared to the nvh I had with the jbr 88 duro.

crapatalk it sucks for free
 
Yeah I don't recall the jbr mounted cars being that much worse but I wasn't mounted then. Now going from dm to another I'll be a better judge but it's a lot of nvh.

Totally worth it to me for the driving experience but I don't want to mislead anyone saying it isn't bad like many do.

Not what I did to the car per se, but guaranteed the green light to start saving to build the internals

I went the other way. Rear and then TMM. I get the 3k RPM vibe from the TMM, but I still dig it.
