Dynamat Sound Proofing Deadening

[Overdrive]

Hi all, does anyone have any experience with Dynamat Sound Proofing/Deadening material. The sound inside the car from the after market exhaust has become really unbearable and changing the exhaust is not an option for me.

I heard about this product on a programme called 'Overhaulin', and i thought i'll look it up and came across them on ebay. But what i want to find out is has anybody got personal experience with the product?? Does it work?

Yup this stuff works pretty well to absorb outside noise and prevent vibration. Two things to remember ... it's heavy and it costs a lot to do the whole interior of the car. They do offer small kits for specific areas where sound absorption/vibration reduction is most wanted but they're usually a pre-cut piece of about 1-2 sq.ft. for places like around the speakers in the doors, front bulkhead, trunk, etc. I've driven in some cars that had the whole interior covered in that stuff and you literally feel like you're in a Mercedes when in reality, you're in a Kia ... lol ... no unwanted noises from vibrations/outside sounds ... just feels well put together ... but, heavy!

Here's a link to a thread where the guy used a different brand (cheaper) for his whole car ... http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=483439

Given that you’re in the UK, you might want to give BJ acoustics a try

They are pretty well known in the Land Rover circles, but I’m not sure how effective it'll be for a car...but could be worth an inquiry

I'm sure you can do a search online for the weight of it per square foot area.

Was this from the episode where Foose's guys stole Charlie Sheen's buddy's Pontiac Le Mans? I saw that one, and I remember thinking how great Dynamat must be.
