The Ultimate DL not only records engine RPM, but also driveshaft RPM, wideband air/fuel ratio, a user-definable pressure channel, and three G meters to show exactly how the vehicle is moving down the track.

Since 1957, Auto Meter has set the standard in performance, accuracy, and durability with its legendary tachometers. With such advanced design, Auto Meter can lay claim to more motorsports victories than every other gauge manufacturer combined. The patented air-core meter movement, wound in-house to exacting standards, can move the needle from 0 to 10,000 RPM in 333 milliseconds. An ultra-bright LED shift light guarantees you hit your shifts perfectly, every time. An inaugural inductee to the Hot Rod Speed Parts Hall of Fame, this tach has no peer when it comes to influence and impact on professional racing. Built for a lifetime of service under the harshest conditions, this is the no-compromise tach for no-compromise builds. When you’re ready for the best, there isn’t another choice.

Hushmat (10501): Ultra Sound-Deadening Thermal Insulation

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Reduce that aftermarket vibration, exhaust drone, and road noise that disrupts your ride and reduce the heat that comes from engines, headers, exhausts, and catalytic converters with one USA-made material: the lightweight HushMat Ultra.

When driving your vehicle, do you feel the heat coming through the firewall, floor, or tunnel? Does road noise and vibration prevent you from having a phone conversation?

HushMat Ultra is a pressure-sensitive, constrained-layer damper, which has excellent adhesion to many difficult-to-bond substrates such as oily cold-rolled steel, automotive E-coat, primers and finishes, and many plastics including polypropylene. The aluminum foil constraining layer and specially formulated viscoelastic polymer layer combine to give effective vibration damping over a wide temperature range. Ultra is provided in rectangular or square sheets and can be hand cut for special configurations.

HushMat Ultra is temperature resistant and maintains adhesion through all automotive bake cycles, including 288°C (550°F) over-bake conditions. This allows its application at any stage of the production cycle. It can be applied to both prepainted and top-coated metal surfaces. It is compatible with automotive coatings and will not contaminate spray operations. Its superior adhesion characteristics also provide excellent corrosion resistance.

  • Effectively treats low-frequency resonant noise from 0 to 1,000 Hz
  • Withstands ambient temperatures from -30 to +550 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Requires no surface cleaning / preparation or heat guns to install
  • No alcohol or acetone wash needed
  • No installation tools required
  • Trims with standard razor knife or household scissors
  • Self-adhesive peel and stick; no secondary glue; adhesion guaranteed
