Here are some pics of my MPAC install. This is a great system and I plan on purchasing the side rack soon. I put dynomat on the rear door to sound deaden it a little before placing the panel back on. The hardest part of the install was deciding where to drill the holes. After that, it was pretty easy. My recommendation is to definitely purchase a door panel removal tool at the auto parts store. It only cost $7 but made it so simple to pop the clips out of the door and not break them. Hope everyone likes. Thanks. Shaun
Updated: I dynamated the inside of the rear door. Covered as much metal as and could. Thanks for the input from DoWork. Should sound deaden a lot more. Thanks.

I think it deadens some of the exhaust sound. When I get a chance, I want to do the floor and sides with the dynomat and padding to make it a little quieter. I had some dynomat left over from a previous vehicle. Thanks for the reply

did you dynamat over the plastic sheet? I think you did it wrong because it shouldnt look like that. Their are a ton of openings in that outer sheet of body and the way you put the dynamat on will do nothing to stop the noise. The goal is to stop vibrations of the metal which means it needs to be rolled onto the metal tightly

I did not want to remove the plastic cover. At least half the dynomat is on metal. The middle part is just over plastic. I had a couple of extra sheets left over from a previous vehicle so this is why I used it. It has to help some verses not having anything besides plastic.

It will help a bit but i would recomend peeling the plastic back and putting some on the inner layer of sheet metal, thats where the majority of the vibrations will be coming from. Its pretty easy to peel back if you use a hair dryer and a knife. Then you can cut large sheets and lay them inside which is what I did. Either way the rack looks great!
Great looking setup, very similar to my own. I can't say how useful its been having everything so organized. Doc and Springtail Solutions or great people their awesome to deal with and truly go above and beyond.
