Dynomat. Plus a 3rd brake light is required.

Also, there are two meal bars under the rear speakers in the trunk. Check those, they rattle like hell with my stock system. I'm getting ready to install a 12" sub and trying to figure out what to do with them.

I used felt tape. It was about 1/4" thick and went between the glass and the 3rd light. Did the trick for me...

Thanks for telling me, I planned on wrapping them in felt tape anyway.

You can take it out. I removed mine. However the rear deck must come out. Also the rear deck has a hump for the 3rd brake light. Too get it clean you will have to cut it off.
