I finally got the CV1800 running. Maybe related to the alcove I have it installed in (see Steve's cyclone install in gallery), but standing at my TS ( which is about 7 feet away) it registers 98 dB without the muffler. I'd sure like to get this lower, and have read the suggestions on Bill's site.
My question is if anyone has any results to share with thier sound and vibration dampening efforts? I noticed that the plastic on the blower housing vibrates quite a bit, and am considering the Dynamat Extreme sheets on the blower housing, filter transition and upper cyclone area. I don't feel to much vibration on the motor mount, so it seems like the stock bolts and rubber hose are doing an OK job. Also considering upgrading them, if necessary.
Any pros/cons and any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Steve
