While the effects of proper sound insulation are instantly felt and heard, the process of PROPERLY installing sound insulation in cars is truly time consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the more glaring misconception is weight. While it is true that damping materials will add some weight, it is not to the point where it could have a drastic effect on fuel economy. When done right, with premium materials such as CTK premium, you can have proper sound insulation without the added additional weight of traditional dampening materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So inquire now at any CTK premium dealer in the Philippines to find out how you can get the added benefits of a quieter ride today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why don&#8217;t car manufacturers offer full sound insulation right at the factory?
