Got a quick question for those of you that have installed new carpets...is there a need or rather a benefit of installing padding underneath the carpets to deaden some of the road noise? Or, would this not really benefit much given that the majority of the noise comes from the enging being directly behind the seats.
Has anyone installed carpets with padding or felt that it's necessary? Evan |

I did DynaMat extreme on the floors and sills then I put DynaLiner over the floors including under the seats and center console. For the firewall I used DynaMat extreme topped with ExtremeLiner. I did not have any problem installing the carpets over the top.
Bought it all via NextTag or Priceline or one of the discount pricing services for about 1/2 of list price. All in all works really well, eliminated most of the road noise and all of the tin-ey-ness. I still get some noise from the intake roar of the carbs but it is mostly a good noise. It certainly isn't quiet like a new car by any means but it does make a huge differnece. 100s of miles with a passenger and no need to shout. If I ever get the A/C reinstalled it is supposed to help with temp control... we'll see. Some people have put it inside their doors. I haven't tried it myself so it may or may not be worth it. |
