I've done with my my Nissan Sylphy, though the previous 2.0-litre model. Exactly the same thing to all 4 doors. It cost me RM300 at that time. Claimed USA product and all. No difference in sound as the Sylphy is inherently already a very quiet car. There might be minimal difference, but to my ears close to zero. The only difference is the doors feel heavier to open and close, and when the doors close there is a more solid thud sound rather than a hollow sound without the soundproofing material.

Not sure how quiet is the current 1.8 model, whether it is as quiet as the previous generation 2.0. If it has the same quietness, in my opinion there is no need to spend money on soundproofing the Nissan Sylphy.

i can't compare G11 sylphy.. never buy or drive it. but compare 2 car proton pesona (my previous car) and Aston martin dB (my uncle let me use it.. wash it take it for long drive) pesona i can hear most ride.. so sylphy is quieter.. meanwhile martin.. feel seat in vacuum car... hear minor vibrate on 240kmH+ ride.. x so sylphy B17 lost to martin.

x
like i said cannot compare sylphy previous Gen but factory default soundproof on b17 is there and surficient to most ppl just me.. i want to see /exp if i can improve it more.

yes door feel heavy/solid when knock it, also improve sound as B17 speaker on the door not the rear end.

my soundproof stuff is cheap china made. just their labour why is rm550+

Btw, I'm not sure if the spring coil protector will make the ride more bumpy for lowered sylphy...

I can't tell you how to spend your money but I can give you my opinion that you are wasting it. Your car is a family oriented car with limited power and not built for fast cornering or good handling so what what difference do all these "racing" struts and bars make? Painting racing stripes on a pig is not going to turn it into a race horse. A K&N filter is just a replacement washable filter for the OEM paper filter; sorry there is zero improvement in performance. How much you spend on your Slyphy isn't going to turn it into a Jetta.

Is it an offence for a family man to re-life his passion about hot rod, racing and the adrenaline rush, just because he missed the opportunity to do so when he is 18?

Is it an offence for a man to pamper his love no matter how not relevant all those stuff he added to his car's true usage, just because he has other priorities right now?

Is it an offence for a person to disregard popular opinion, to look thru the peer pressure because being unconventional, just because he had the ability to do what he love without bringing any harm to passer by?

TS, the below youtube video can help you make your decision as well.

It's car review from Australia but its quite informative.

*From the video...
  Nissan Pulsar = Nissan Sylphy
  Toyota Corrolla = Toyota Altis
  Subaru Impreza = Can be Subaru XV i think

https://youtu.be/pt5UTFuQUys

Hope this helps you make your decision smile.gif

Subaru impreza is sedan ..XV is SUV

Absolutely agree with your opinion.
