I recently saw a ytube vid on cutting out the plastic "grill" on the fan output side of the condenser and replacing it with metal lath to improve air flow and thus improving the efficiency of the air conditioner. Has anyone tried this? And did you notice any difference?
One of the real reasons for the mod is to make the Coleman Mach 8 quieter. They sound like an old turbojet taking off, and are real annoying. the rounded "BBQ" grill grid smooths the airflow and helps with the sound level.
The kit is marketed strictly as a noise reduction kit.
