2. Warm idle and stationary throttle blipped also invoked a tad less rumble.
3. 2k to 3k rpm in 5th gear with light throttle application - noticeably less drone as well
4. After 7 miles in mid 70s temps, I removed the towel which was noticeably warm.


That is the amp for the HK sound system....so I am not sure I would totally cover it up with a towel as amps can generate some heat.
