Would something like this work instead of the ports?

Or are the ports better?

Yes, those will work nicely...

How much Dynamat did you use? I ordered some but not sure I got enough.

Thic Whips published a YouTube video implementing this DIY fix and gave this thread a referral!

Yeah, because of that video I finally did mine. @tadda did great job creating this DYI

Registered just to comment on how amazingly detailed this thread is, and confirm how much it improves the sound. I have only ported the panel so far and it makes a huge difference. Excited to finish the project.

Got all the stuff in today to do this. Gonna do it Friday. I’m anxious see the improvements.

If anyone is looking for the piece where the ports are cut let me know. I’m going to sell my car and want to start returning it to stock, so I’d be down for a trade.

Might be faster and cheaper to just buy a replacement at the dealer, that cover is fairly inexpensive.

I haven‘t been able to find it. By chance do you have a link? I searched the part number and couldn’t find it.

Done!!! Bass is much tighter and more controlled it seems.
