Hood pad on the cheap
Hood pad on the cheap
The sound of the valve train on these engines drives me up the wall. Both of my cars were missing the hood pad. How much does the hood pad help? Has anyone here replaced their hood pad? I'm not about to pay $80 for one off of Mercedes source. Any suggestions? Anything that doesn't work?

Would some generic foam for furniture cushions from a fabric store work?
Hahaha carpet, really? lol
I don't know about how mean they sound. They do sound good to me, but my girl and all her friends called my last one the bubble machine... Being able to hear the turbo is nice, but I obsess over the valve train when I can hear it. Every time I start the thing I stand and listen for some tick or clatter that may or may not exist. I'm pretty happy with the "new" one with stock exhaust and intake. The reason I got rid of the stock intake on the last one was because it was a complete rattle trap. For whatever reason if something is squeaking or rattling I can't force myself to ignore it and I wind up driving around with the radio and the heat off so I can give my undivided attention to how annoying it is...
