the question is tho, because it adheres to the metal a bit, and because its kinda like the hose, would it be a replacement, or what about the crud you can use to "repair" motor mounts from car quest (haven't looked for the stuff in a while may not be available without ordering)could you make your own blocks that fill in the gaps were you want it, without having hose or blocks looking all willy nilly, and if you coated things like the inner covers and outer portions would it deaden the sound without costing arm and a leg. right know i have hoses on the side and it quiets the engine down a bit, but would RTV or similar rubberized stuff work just as good and make it cleaner. i need to buy more because i slathered it on the gear case and the air intake to see if it helps (had some black stuff laying around) it "sounds" quieter but really cant tell. may need to get the aerosol stuff for a consistent thickness
