I removed the cover underneath. Probably is a little louder but can't be worse than pre quiet tech models. With the shrouds and insulation, there really isn't anywhere for the heat to go. Can't be good for the engine long term.

Removing the shroud and adding a Fumoto F109SX M12-1.5 Sx Series Drain Valve makes changing the oil very easy.
