I want to do my cabin. Floors, interior firewall. Not planning on doing doors.
I'll use either Fatmat or Dynamat, but I don't know how much to buy. Which of the two do people like best these days. Zach |

It needs to go on the metal to work properly.
otherwise, the sound waves may vibrate the metal against the rubber pad, making more noise. Zach |

QUOTE(kconway @ Sep 17 2009, 10:48 AM)  Zach/T.C. Did you guys leave the firewall pad on and apply the mat over the interior rubber mat? I left the rubber pad. I don't have that car anymore, but it had a pretty good stereo and open exhaust. No problems. T.C. |

So, after driving the car around a bit, I have decided that it is still a bit loud in the cabin. When the weather turns cold and the car goes back on those evil jack stands to keep my tires from flat spotting, I intend to put another layer of RaaMat in the cabin.
I never put any in the doors, so some will go there. Another layer will go on the fire wall, and maybe a layer on the engine side as well. I don't think I am going to put another layer on the floor. Right now, for a longer trip I'd want ear plugs. I hate putting weight back into the car, but I also want to arrive at my destination w/o a headache due to noise. Zach |

Has someone ever tried this mat from Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/50-sqft-R-BLOX-Sound-D...id=p3911.c0.m14? I plan to put some in into my Bumblebee and I think about buying it, any experience?

I went with the Raamat and was able to do two layers on the firewall and a single layer on the floors and the doors with one roll. Just enough.
I also added the stips of Ensolite on the firewall and it made a huge difference with it on with the "knock" test. |
