what type of material is in the resonated chamber? Is it a honeycomb like a catalytic converter?

I see that this installs in the cabin, but there is no link to instructions that I can find. Do you know where this module connects?
I gave up on the Cargraphic install because my hand couldn’t fit in the narrow space next to the engine.
Thanks for the post.

Aspherical mirrors - Spyder has kind of a bad blind spot in the drivers side with the top up

Anyone know if it's possible to order this heritage shifter from the 991 Speedster?

I have had a small rattle coming from the passenger door since new. I think I want to Dynamat the inside of the doors and I think that should eliminate it and possibly slightly improve the acoustics? Anyone Dynamat their doors? Any issues with doing this besides a slight weight increase?

Video lays out details. Haven’t tried it yet.

Very useful. I just ordered some stick-on blocks that I can cut and put in the doors.

Some good pics here too.

key seems to be place mat on door sheet metal but also between frame and door card, to kill rattles.

And this is my Master Blaster: Amazon.com: Metro Vac MB-3CD Air Force Master Blaster 8-HP Car & Motorcycle Dryer - Auto Detailing : Automotive



I have been using the Master Blaster for many years (US made), it is industrial in quality, not a lot of frills but has dried probably over 1000 cars without missing a beat. The SGCB was made offshore and seems solid, but it is new to me, and I am looking forward to putting it through its paces!
***UPDATE***

So I have a short out of the box review of the newly purchased SGCB Pro Car Air Dryer. I finished washing the Spyder and put the little guy through its paces, it does the job drying the car and with the toggle set to heat the air it did warm the air slightly (it was a cool day today). I found that I preferred the fan setting at maximum, the nozzle provided a good concentration of air flow, and the hose was more than long enough to get around one side of the car at a time. I feel that the 5HP rating is about what it provides as I am comparing it to the 8HP Master Blaster, which feels nearly twice as powerful as the SGCB unit. I think this unit has a place in my detailing tool set, it is a little slower than the Blaster but may be a better choice for more delicate jobs where more control is needed, for the price it is IMHO a good deal. If you are interested in the shortest possible drying time for your car or truck, then I would consider the more powerful Master Blaster. Today I finished the second half of the Spyder with the big boy and it definitely banished the water with authority, but because of this you have to be aware that it can peel stickers or tape attached emblems if you get too close.

Are you sure it's not the passenger seatbelt hitting the plastic behind it? I get that in mine.

Ditto. I slid the plastic retainer/slide thing and buckle up to the top belt where it meets the retracting trim and that stops the buckle from rattling. I also removed the cargo area cover because it makes noise a bit too at times.
