Sound/heat deadening material?
I'm not looking for homemade remedies, just what types and brands you guys have had experience with, and what are your opinions. You know, the types applied to the floorpans, doors, roof ect.

Ive used FatMat, I bought 50 sqaure feet from Ebay delivered for 79.00. If you want to do your entire car buy the 100 square feet. Its about 139. I used a heat gun when I put it in, worked great.

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
I am looking for something that won't let the condensation collect. When I pulled up the carpeting this week for mine, the sheet metal was WET and the car hasn't been driven in the rain as long as I've had it! NOT something I'm going to take lightly...

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
The jute was there, yes, but when I pulled up the carpet two days later, the jute was WET and left a lot of moisture in the trunk pan. I had driven the car in the cold two days prior. The two days were fairly humid, but the car was garaged for those two days.

I used Second Skin Audio (still finishing) and am very happy thus far... I was quite thorough, still need to do my doors.... & adding a supercharger for extra weight
Took my friend and I 2 days to do from pillars to rear of car (no main floor)

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
I haven't heard of the brands above until now, but I have always had great results with the Dynamat product. I've seen drastic sound reduction from coverings a lot less obsessive than what is shown above. Not trying to knock the guy above, his devotion to sound deadening is quite impressive actually. I've just seen and had great results with the dynamat product, things like a 10" square pad deadening a whole metal panel.

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
I looked around a little bit on the internet today after my first post here and compared prices between the different brands. As far as what I could find, buying the Dynamat from Summit was just about the same price as many of the other brands I could find elsewhere. Maybe I am not looking in the right places, or seeing something wrong, but I couldn't find anything that would convince me to change.

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
I could see the advantage in buying your material by the foot, legnths custom fit to your needs. But then again, something that is made to insulate your home pipes, or something that is designed to be a sound deadener for your car. Six of one and half a dozen of another if you ask me, all in a matter of opinion.

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
Sound deadening products are NOT all equal. Roofing materials and home heating ducts are no where near as effective as quality deadners are.
Second Skin Audio sells an excellent product, and they are a top notch company with outstanding customer service.

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
When I redid my Interior, the interior shop used Hushmat in the cabin area and doors. Carpet laid on top of it and made a real difference in noises and rattles.

Re: Sound/heat deadening material?
I've used 2 types. One from Custom Sounds and the other was from Mr. Gasket. The Mr. Gasket worked slightly better, but then I torched it onto the metal.
