    Anyone know where you can purchase one? I have searched online and can't seem to find a site that has one. They still available at the dealership or are they no longer available?

    From the description in the above page:
    Prevent sound from escaping out of your engine bay with this new sound absorber.
    So I have a question. You think if I spend the retarded amount they want for it it will prevent me from hearing my valves ticking?

    Hood pad is made for quieting noisy diesels so you don't hear them as much from outside the vehicle.

    Spend your money replacing your worn out lifters, it is a much better investment.

    Anyone ever try this stuff?

    I was thinking of using this on the firewall to insulate against the heat of the exhaust and reduce sound levels in the passenger compartment. Thermal and noise insulation up to 1500F.
