I used the Noico brand and am very happy with the results. And if it’s good enough for Brent, it’s good enough for me.
I remember the cost was quite a bit less than the big names, but got very good reviews.
Dude. you are SO misguided.
I did come across a good product review (sorry, don't have the link) of different brands of constrained layer mats where they actually measured the sound deadening provided (a rarity in reviews). Dynamat did score the highest but most of the other brands came very close. I don't remember if Killmat was in there, but it seems like it was. Like John said, Noico (and other "lesser" brands are as little as a third the price of Dynamat. You might sacrifice a little in performance, but at a third the price...
I have driven my car yet, but can say for sure that Noico really deadened the panels and my doors fit with that solid clunk you get on high end cars. I suspect that Killmat would do just as well.
Oh, lastly, I ordered a set of samples from B-Quiet which is another popular brand. The sample of constrained layer mat was nearly identical to the Noico I bought but almost double the price (still less than Dynamat).
Everything I've seen indicates that Dynamat really is the best, but other brands deliver more bang for the buck.
