Noise Reduction Kit

[Jackyche]

I'm too cheap to fork over $4k for Tesla's noise reduction kit so I did an alternate route.

Someone recommended using RaamAudio instead of Dynamat cuz its supposed to be better and slightly cheaper. So I bought RaamAudio padding.

Had my trusty local guy install it along with the HID kit. Covered floor, back, inside doors.

Here's what I'm noticing:
a)very significant improvement when going over bumps and stuff. Much more muffled and car feels more solid.

b)very little improvement on road noise. Sort of expected as nothing was done on wheel wells. And with shockingly high Washington State road noises, I wasn't really expecting miracles.

c)my feet are warmer.

Overall, I'm happy.

Question...did he apply any sort of gasket to keep the slush / dirt out of the door sill area?

[Jackyche]

No. My car doesn't get all that much dirt on the sill area. It's gets dirty, but nothing offensive. Plus I don't think anyone here came up with a good solution yet other than the Tesla's.

You can buy the wheel well pieces separately. Each is $150....or was it $250? I did not buy so I forget.

I didn't know they were willing to sell
Individual parts from the kit. Someone wanted the door seals and said they wouldn't sell that only.

Good point.

Any 2.5 roadsters get the stage2 noise reduction kit?..
What do you think?

I was told that currently there is a hold on almost all Roadster upgrades - you can't get the NVH kit for now - as Tesla deals with their growth in Model S sales/service.
