I seem to remember that Project Drive removed quite a bit of sound deadening although I'm not sure if that applied to the ZT in some respects.

Anyway, has anyone tried to tackle this and had any success in reducing it without harming the soundtrack from the engine?

And at a slight tangent, now that many owners have models with a few miles on the clock, have there been any other NVH issues that have surfaced?
THe booming noise was designed out with the standard quads, the X-power put it back big time. I had the use of a car with them on for about two weeks and it became too much. Loved narrow lanes with the windows down though

I have Zero Quads on now and they are about half way between the two and produce a lovely rumble sound.
