Default Sound deadener...

I have pulled the interior out if my new Vet and found some torn up pieces of sound deadener under the carpet. I was thinking about putting new stuff in but using the spray this time. Any opinions??

this is what i used to do mine. others use reflectix(home depot) and others use dynamat(more xpensive). i used 3M spray to glue it down and aluminum tape for the seams, then i sprayed 3M on the foil to attach the carpet(figure it'll be 10yrs or more before i need a new carpet). i didn't put the jute on top of the foil, some of us do and some don't. i have sidepipes so i don't get cabin heat.

After seeing your install on this I bought some from insulation4less as well. Very quick shipment I must say. Hopefully I will be installing this weekend.

I put a similar material in mine when I had the interior out. Make sure you get under the console bits and up under the back window. It really made a difference on interior heat and sound levels.

I did the same thing but w/Reflectix. Helped my cabin heat problem a lot but didn't deaden sound at all. I wish I knew about that stuff you used! Looks like reflectix.

it's very similar to reflectix, same thickness w/insulation for less supposedly being better for sound and heat. both being easy to shape and install

If money is not an issue, use DYNAMAT for sound deadening and
use TACMAT on top for heat.





I still have a ways to go

I didnt want to pay for the Dynamat but I agree it is the way to go for sound deadening.

I used cool car ceramic (black paint with ceramic coated beads) in my interior. I have yet to reinstall my interior, but I hope to have time soon.

Has anyone tried the stuff from DEI? http://www.streetrodstuff.com/Products/1801/

That Brown Bread is a product of B-Quiet/ It appears to be for sound insulation only. They have a comparison chart which is nice - wish they all did this....

http://www.b-quiet.com/compare.html

This comparison by Dynamat Xtreme indicates better sound deadening at temps less than 86 degrees - but that's pretty much a winter day here in south Texas. http://www.dynamat.com/sound_dbate_X...comparison.htm

Although this opened my interest for sound deadening, my main goal is heat deflection.
