I have a Gas Club Car Carryall (Golf Cart)....My question: Would this Thermo-Tec be of much use to dampen/deaden the engine sound from my golf cart? I am considering placing some under the bed of the rear of the golf cart, under the front seats, and even possibly the floor board of the golf cart. Would this work good, great, poorly? Or would this be a waste of time completely?

It would be well worth the money. Any mat that absorbs acoustic waves like this one will dampen engine decibals too. Hope this helps.

It will deafen the sound of ground noise, now depending on where your engine is set on the cart it may do the trick. The mat does suppress the sound where you lay it. However the smell of tar is extremely potent and unbearable in a closed system. Since its a cart I assume there are no doors and windows so you might not have that issue. Hope that helps!

If the noise is coming from the metal or plastic vibrating, it may help a great deal, but if it's just engine noise, the product probably won't help at all. It's decent at sound deadening, but practically useless for sound blocking.

this stuff will work well, just be sure to really clean and prep the surface before you start!

I've heard that using sound deadening material will do exactly what you want for your cart. I included a link below to something that I think would be even better. You're basically adding mass in order to change the harmonic resonance, i.e., stop rattling.GTMAT 12 sqft Constrained Layer Dampener Automotive Audio Sound Dampening Sound Deadener Deadening 80mil ULTRA - Audio Deadening Installation Kit Includes: 12sqft (qty 3 - 36in X 16in sheets), Instruction Sheet, Application Roller, Degreaser, GT MAT DecalsAnd after doing this, if your cart is still too loud, look into a muffler silencer. They are cheap and easy to install and will most definitely cut the noise out. I've heard that using sound deadening material will do exactly what you want for your cart.

It (by itself) does not stop someone from using a spare. But where are they getting the spare?? Are they carrying one around to match your car? The club makes it near impossible to drive away with your car (or in my case a pop up camper.) You could use a keyed lug to make it more difficult if it is easy for them to provide a spare.

I tried using this heat gun in a very compact space under my vehicle. The trigger guard has it's purpose but I wish dewalt would have designed it so that it's removable. All I needed to do was heat up a heat shrink under the vehicle but I couldn't reach it cause of the guard. I ended up removing the cable harness under the vehicle and heating the component. My recommendation is to either modify the guard since it's designed for sturdiness since your working in tight spaces. But if you can find a smaller heat gun meant for tight areas, this would be better.

This would probably be good enough for a golf cart, as long as it is not an extra large cart for four or more people.You would have to rewire the key ignition to make it accessible. The key start switch is now mounted on the motor which would be under the seat on a golf cart. I'm sure there would be a sizable amount of adapting to be done.

The post by gmcda gives some good advice. My 97 Chevy Tahoe had lots of rust on the exhaust. I was able to salvage my studs by using a rust dissolving catalyst spray called PB Blaster the night before. The next morning, I resprayed before I set out the tools. I used an impact wrench and I had all the studs out in minutes. Low torque is the key to not breaking the studs. Now, heat is king for removing rusty parts if you have it. The kit comes with new bolts and gasket for the rear flange so I used a sawzall to cut those bolts out by cutting right through the old rear flange gasket. Getting the exhaust plug and the drilling were the longest part of the project. The post by gmcda gives some good advice. My 97 Chevy Tahoe had lots of rust on the exhaust.

I tow it behind a gator cx 9 hp, don't notice its there __ golf cart should not be a problem.

It is required to be OUTSIDE. The Exhaust from natural gas is pretty clean, yet toxic and being so cleaned you won't noticed you are being poisoned. KEEP IT OUTSIDE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD IT BE IN A GARAGE. I am not yelling, I am just making sure you get it.The plastic is pretty durable, but if you want to extend its life, put a vinyl fence around it for shade. Just make sure to leave enough space to breath and exhaust as well as to do maintenance. Also make sure you instal it with plenty of clearance from the house. At least 3 ft, but check the local code.

I'm sure it would heat it, but you need fresh air to come in so carbon monoxide doesn't build up inside. I use it for my golf cart that has sunbrella roll up sides that are used with snaps and Velcro to secure it. It isn't air tight like a car. Hope this answers your question. Just keep safety in mind while using this heater!

It would have limited value for noise reduction, I used it for a car firewall (more for heat blocking than sound). I use other sound deadening products ( Second Skin Damplifier Pro and Luxury Liner) to damp vibration and block noise for the interior. If I am not mistaken, much of the gas golf cart noise is exhaust, not enough heat/speed/vibration/loud music to benefit from applying this product.

It works okay in conjunction with other materials (Stinger's adhesive insulation materials) but it's relatively thick and would have to be cut extremely well to fit. The other issue would be adhesion. If you think that this is worth the effort for potentially not that much sound control given the issues with a golf cart (being open otherwise), it might help. I would consider the adhesive sound control first as it might be much easier to install.

I just installed it in the trunk of my bike & carpeted around it as to not block the heat from it. Works great. I have a simple Walkman hooked to it. It's too loud.

We used it on our golf cart in our Christmas golf cart parade. So it is outside but only for one night a year.Worked great for that job.

Greetings: I am using this inline with my ignition wire to cut out engine noise to the amplifier. It worked a little and only after I turned the gain down on my amp did all the noise go away. That's all I know about the operation of this product.

I thought to merely click on "I don't know," but that seemed a little too dismissive. The fact is, the jury is out--completely out as far as I am concerned--over whether ethane does damage to an engine, how much damage occurs if it does do damage at all, and then there are other problems it may cause--primarily in emissions. I know many race car drivers, and they are big believers in ethane, mixed in at very small doses, often with a very small dose of distilled water, and all this assumes that the engine is operating at a higher temperature than most engines on the road do. My preference is to stay away from ethane, if possible. (Often you don't know if it is mixed in with the gas you buy or not.) Whether MMO would help with ethane damage, I truly don't know. I suspect it would because of its lubricating properties, but I'm not sure. If you call the factory, I suspect they will just tell you it would since they kind of put themselves in the role of cheerleader for their product. So this is the best I can do. Maybe someone with more knowledge of chemistry than me could give a better opinion, although I have read arguments and counterarguments by chemical engineers and they don't agree with each other. As far as I'm concerned, it's still very much in the experimental stage. I suspect in 10 years either it will be getting used a whole lot more, or it will have disappeared from our gasoline entirely.

These motors will only put out the sound you want them to. By this I mean it truly does all depend on the exhaust. With an expansion chamber and muffler on your bike it should be quiet enuf to ride around the neighborhood. For smell there's not much you can do about that for the fact that two strokes are just naturally smellier due to the fact that the gas and oil are mixed together. As long as you run a good spark plug, 91+ for fuel and high quality two stroke oil you should be fine.

Sammy ... I bought a new fuel pump for my Yamaha golf cart and it seemed to do well, but now, I have the same problem you are having. It will move when you push the pedal down, but after a short while will just stall and sit there ... no matter how much you push down the pedal. We then have to push or tow it to where we're going. I have been told that it is probably a carburetor problem, but I haven't had anyone look at it yet.

Daniel: If you have a 4x5 foot piece of plywood set it up on some saw bucks and a couple of stools and you will have a nice plat form for the tracks and also comfort while having hours of race time. Also I have one of those things with 2 fans in it for my lap top computer and after each race it works great for cooling down the motors. If you do this you will keep from over heating them. Have fun
