    What is the slimmest and quietest drying system?

    Yes they can be retrofitted. They are just a big round disk that mounts over the inlet of the fan sitting back off a few inches. A plastic blower housing is quieter that a metal housing.

    What is the slimmest and quietest drying system?

    Many companies have quiet options for the dryer. It is basically a large shroud that goes over the inlet side of the dryer. I have sprayed the inside of these shrouds with a good rubberized undercoat that quieted the dryers even more. If Sonnys had top dryer to add to their Mammoth dryers I...
