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...

I used it to insulate the engine compartment of my UTV, and the sound difference is incredible! As an added bonus, it also does a good job of reflecting engine heat.

I would say YES! This blower is unreal. You may find the noise louder but the payoff is the amount of cool air wind that blows through this blower. I use this in my garage where it's about 80 and this fan will drop the two car carage temp by 70 within in a hour,I think that's pretty impressive!

We used it in a truck engine compartment. The product works very well for reducing the heat; as far as the sound is concerned, there are superior products out there.

Only if you plan to overclock, or use high end equipment does the type of thermal paste or "goop" make a difference. Both move heat, and the higher end stuff does it slightly better. But you don't need to put a high end muffler on a Toyota Corolla.

I use it on the Harley like I'm sure that is how you found it. YES, I use in on my golf cart "Buggie" also. Great stuff for both Harley's and golf carts winshields, and it protects it from getting Yellow. (from the sun)

I bought the drive cogs with my alternator purchase. I've replaced many of these and I know how hard the rubber cogs become after years of use and engine heat.It is not absolutely necessary but it helps keep the noise to a minimum.

Hello Cy, the drone is there but it is not all that bad. The car sounds amazing with the Flowmaster's on it. I am trying to think what RPM it seems the loudest but my Challenger has been in storage all winter and I really don't remember. I guess that speaks for it self. It is subjective of course but I don't mind it at all. Did I mention my car sounds awesome... :)

I would say no. We take ours to football games, and a couple of times it flamed out when the crowd got to stomping their feet. I'm sure it wouldn't work in a moving golf cart.

Forget it! Put on another layer of clothing or don't go golfing. This heater hasn't been designed, in my opinion, to be use in moving vehicles.

I've used it to pull transmission fluid from a warm bike engine. Im unsure of the temp, but it held up fine. The engine was too hot to touch though. If you're planning on using it for food safe items, I probably wouldn't recommend temperatures that high. The plastic taste/smell may seep into the liquid.

My Dad went through many iterations heating his cart for winter use and actually came up with a very satisfactory solution. While I don't think the SportCat heater was available then, when I purchased my SportCat, I actually did think that it would be perfect for winter golf cart use. But, of course the most import factor is how well the cart is sealed -not airtight of course, but sufficient so that cold winds don't come in to any great extent. Given that, with a secure mounting system in the cart (preferably on the floor), I'm sure the SportCat would be ideal for winter golf cart use.

I live in a Chicago and I don't see any improvement in mpg in the city but on my trips to Detroit on the highway I might get 1 or 2 mpg improvement that I can notice. It was worth it regardless, makes the car sound better. Pair it with a decent exhaust system..even a pair of flow masters 40 or super 44 series and you will pretty good. U have this on a 13 2lt range camaro and I get good compliments.

Feasible, certainly--effective, can't tell. Depends on the depth and volume of the box, and the nature of the noise--never run across much "loud intake noise". If it's vibrational or induced by the operation of the engine, it would probably help. If it's air being simply sucked into the engine, probably not. There are other materials like this out there that are a lot more cost-effective.

I recommend goint to the manufacturer's wesite at "http://www.thermotec.com/products/14120-thermo-guard-fr.html". Since This product is for light duty radiant heat and sound, i'd recommend a different product from them like 'heat barrier' items of theirs if you will subject the item to temps greater than 200-300 F degrees. I do not represent the manufacturer, I'm just a customer. :)

It keeps all my temps 7 to 8 degrees F lower with it. As to noise, it has a speed controller on the outside of it. I keep it almost all the way down and with it all the way down its noticeable..not that bad IMO, turn it up all the way and it sounds like a jet engine.

I guess it depends on your vehicle roof line, but I'd wager there is a negative impact on mileage. The included faring is supposed to help reduce noise and drag, but I think it adds a lot to the noise, anything over 30-40 mph I can really hear it with my Subaru.
