[Fullchat289]

Hyde:

I'm actually quite suprised with the lack of "reverb". Maybe it's the contour of top and how the sound bounces around, or maybe it's the fact that I haven't fashioned side curtains yet and have been running it with open sides, or maybe the holes I cut in the rear screen have an affect....or maybe it's the passengers with mouths open in fright whose lungs are acting as Helmholtz resonators???

I've experienced the closed cabin "reverb" in my MGB, so I know how a top can produce this issue...Do you notice a substantial difference when running your soft top? Are you running open pipes or ERA's "quiet" pipes? Just as a note, my car is running ERA's "quiet" pipes, they aren't open. When Mike Pack rode in the car, he mentioned that the exhaust music was relatively muted compared to his 289 kirkham..
