    Has anyone weighed the sound deadening removed from an 86? I'm talking about the tar shit by itself, not including carpet and trim etc.

    Thanks guys. I figure the the weight of the bracing I want to fit can be compensated by the sound deadening removal..

    Bring on the dry ice!

    Can't wait to build a screamer, leave the sound deadening in it and laugh to myself as I overtake the dori doris who are slowly going deaf from lack of sound deadening...

    I've never removed mine. I don't care to either. Not much of a difference.
