True to the claim! I did notice a difference. The engine does feel a little smoother since less vibration is transmitted to the cowl. It is very slick on one side. The only thing that is a negative is it doesnt conform to compound curves quite as well as regular silicone cowl seal. For this reason, you might want to use the Cowl Saver seal on the sides of the engine along the valve covers and straighter areas and silicone if the baffling has severe compound curves.
