Has anyone tried this yet? I hope it's the fix for many of us that we have been looking for. I will add Bronco after it's removed and painted white later.

I believe someone has done it with the 2.7 but I haven't heard anyone doing it on the 2.3 yet. They had to make some brackets and trimmed the cover in a few places if I remember correctly.

Over on the Ranger forum there are plenty that have added the cover . It is said to quieten down the top end noise very well on the 2.3

That is a great selling point for noise deading on the engine. Not just for looks alone. Becareful when painting alcohol will eat the cover if you make a mistake. I hope to see more of them in the future in BN.

Rather see the messy view than a plastic cover that I’d just toss anyway, or sell to someone who wants it

I wouldn't except it stops most of the injector noise on the 2.3 that makes it sound like a diesel . When the wife even notices and ask what's that noise , it's a no brainer .

I might give this a try. With all the wind noise from the soft top, any decrease in outside sound would be good.

Adding dynamat to ram air hood. Might just do the floors and kick panels, too.

Is it a foam thing or just a piece of formed plastic? I wonder if there's a cooling type reason why ford omitted it from the get-go.

It's foam it's only on the high trim level of the Ranger.

Got mine today. It’s a thick foam piece. I have yet to test if it decreases engine noise in the cabin.
