I also have reflective insulation on the inside of the tunnel and there still is a lot of radiated heat on the passenger side which was repeatedly brought to my attention by my wife on our 6,400 mile trip out west last June. I just purchased some aluminum heat shield material off Amazon that I will try and install between the exhaust and the tunnel/ floor pan this winter. If it works, I will post some pictures.</div><div>Dave Connitt<br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Sep 17, 2023, at 10:48 AM, dave northrup <dave@ranteer.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<p class="MsoNormal">Was out in the TR6 yesterday. Last time we took the tunnel out we added more insulation. We have dynamat on the tunnel itself, and a couple layers of carpet insulation, including one large piece we just set over the tunnel and the floor
in a continuous piece.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Its much better than before but there’s still a lot of heat if you put your hand on the tunnel.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thought about other ways of cooling, like vents directly air up into the tunnel etc.

<p class="MsoNormal">What have people done to mitigate this?<o:p></o:p></p>
