Dave - I'll chime in.I did that job about 3 years ago and am glad I did. Note that it's no silver bullet. Martin's comment that "no one asks if the diesel is running" is still accurate, but it's a lot better. As I get older the engine doesn't sound as bad as it used to, so I have that going for me J
It's really not that hard of a project and there's a lot less "dirt" in the area in addition to the reduction in noise pollution. I figure it's like refrigeration. You can live without it, but it's nice to have. Hope that helps.
