I have a Honda 3000 EU, I am looking for some ideas to quiet it down. Anyone had success with this, want to share some ideas?

Here in Canada there are two Honda 3K models, one known as the EU3000iS which is the class leader in "quiet" inverter gensets and the EU3000iK (known as the Handi in the US) which isn't the same at all and is significantly noisier. If yours is the latter I can understand why you'd want to quiet it down, the former not so much. I built a Generator Quiet Box for my own EU2000i but for a 3K genset it would have to be quite a bit larger and I suspect a handful to move around. Although I fashioned my own exhaust bezel you'd certainly find it easier to design a box by first replacing the 3K's exhaust bezel with this one from Generator Line. For lining the interior of the box I used Reflectix for economic reasons but you'd achieve far better results using a noise control barrier such as this from West Marine. Done correctly, to achieve maximum results, this won't be inexpensive. ;)
