no i def agree the rhino is loud, your really cant quiet the intake its sitting right next to you, but for wheels just grease up all grease points and check that your brake pads arent worn out and dragging.

Engine Compartment foam that is used on boats is what I had a buddy use.

It worked fairly well. He gave me his leftovers along with his plastic (rolled mine and shattered some pieces) and will be doing some tomorrow, I think.

I do know about the bed rattle...try to get a piece of the foam (adhesive backed and mylar sheet on other side) between the muffler shield thing and the bed. That should stop that noise.

He put the foam around the plastic above the engine and wherever he could. Seemed to work well (as well as it can)

Hope this helps

I saw you put a different intake on, where does it mount and how hard is it, I am tired of pulling everything apart to get to my air filter.

Out of curiosity, why are you concerned about the noise of your Rhino?
