I have a Gas Club Car Carryall (Golf Cart)....My question: Would this Thermo-Tec be of much use to dampen/deaden the engine sound from my golf cart? I am considering placing some under the bed of the rear of the golf cart, under the front seats, and...

It will deafen the sound of ground noise, now depending on where your engine is set on the cart it may do the trick. The mat does suppress the sound where you lay it. However the smell of tar is extremely potent and unbearable in a closed system. Since its a cart I assume there are no doors and windows so you might not have that issue. Hope that helps!

It will help some. I am guessing the golf cart is not enclosed so you will hear the motor still just not coming from the floor as much. It will prob be coming from the sides where the cart is open to the air. I just wouldn't expect a lot of difference.

I do not have a golf cart, so am not certain. However, if your tires have a standard stem, then yes. You can regulate the CO2 to the 20psi.

I use one as a belt blower on my UTV.. Can't hear it over the engine, but it is pretty loud.. Hard to talk to passenger with it running between us

It (by itself) does not stop someone from using a spare. But where are they getting the spare?? Are they carrying one around to match your car? The club makes it near impossible to drive away with your car (or in my case a pop up camper.) You could use a keyed lug to make it more difficult if it is easy for them to provide a spare.

I live in a Chicago and I don't see any improvement in mpg in the city but on my trips to Detroit on the highway I might get 1 or 2 mpg improvement that I can notice. It was worth it regardless, makes the car sound better. Pair it with a decent exhaust system..even a pair of flow masters 40 or super 44 series and you will pretty good. U have this on a 13 2lt range camaro and I get good compliments.

Daniel: If you have a 4x5 foot piece of plywood set it up on some saw bucks and a couple of stools and you will have a nice plat form for the tracks and also comfort while having hours of race time. Also I have one of those things with 2 fans in it for my lap top computer and after each race it works great for cooling down the motors. If you do this you will keep from over heating them. Have fun

Believe there is a zippered access to the clubs to take care of that. The problem I have had is the cover seems to be for older model carts and those I have encountered at golf courses have a roof larger than the cover and have not used it. Have it in the garage wondering what I'm going to do with it.

I've used it to pull transmission fluid from a warm bike engine. Im unsure of the temp, but it held up fine. The engine was too hot to touch though. If you're planning on using it for food safe items, I probably wouldn't recommend temperatures that high. The plastic taste/smell may seep into the liquid.

I have been made to understand that these horns have been made to be used with 6 volt DC hence when you connect to 12 volt DC you get a higher pitch, this is why there is talk of using a resistor, I assume that the golf cart is 12 volt this is why you are not getting a satisfying sound. I hope this was of some help.

Get it with the muffler. Too me it just sounds like an old caterpillar tractor. Utter crap. Also I wake up early and my neighbors would not stop complaining(and normally they dont care about much.) I bought the muffler that fits this. Its a bit louder than stock but actually sounds good. Nice good deep rumble. and it still has the same throttle response I noticed with the straight pipe.

I struggle saying any gas driven engine is quiet. It would not prevent me from sleeping at night, my neighbor can hear it but I would not call it obnoxiously loud.

Not for my comfort level. I bought some of that reflective heat shield foil tape and wrapped it around some rock wool to create a little fire-proof insulated pad that I taped to the bag's heat shield. That would rest right against the exhaust heat shield and kept the bag protected. This was on a DR650 which had similar exhaust placement. Those bags didn't hold up to the beating I delivered crossing wisconsin on ATV trails either. They only lasted one trip (1400 hard miles). Could last years if you were very gentle.

I have a 55 Chevrolet truck that I used the Thermo-Tec in. I drove the truck before I used this product and then I drove the truck after I installed the product and it was more quiet. As far as being cool, I haven't driven the truck any distance to experience this. As far as vibrations/rattles the product appears to help.

I use 4 of them on an open 25' motor boat without amp on a standard car radio with no amp and they are plenty loud. For a golf cart, I can't believe that you would need an amp, umless you're providing sound for a whole golf course.
