Hi Guys,
Does anyone know of a sound deadening product other than Dynamat??
A $1000 for enough to do my car is ridiculous!
Surely their is a cheaper alternative?
Cheers,
Allan

I use carpet underlay and glue it up on the inside of the firewall, and also behind the back seat up the bulkhead. Cut out a lot of road noise pity about the crap seal on the windows. Mine also has that bitumen stuff underneath the car.

Try ebay, I got an unopened bulk pack of Dynamat extreme for $200 which was enough to do a HK sedan.
Or Google auto sound deadener, Fatmat is another one, there are plenty of brands out there.
I went for the aluminium backed bitumineous insulation because when its applied correctly it is pretty well waterproof. Underfelt on its own traps water between the floor and the carpet. I used Dynamat and a high quality underfelt and the result is terrific, really good sound & heat insulation.

just bought 240 FT eDead 45 Sound Deadener not sure how good it is but its cheep enough...checked a few forums and the response was positive. from what i can figure there are three main types of sound deadener matting fiberglass, tar, and Butyl Rubber.. they seem to be rated in this order with the Butyl Rubber rated highest.. I have seen this on eBay au for $130 for 30ft this is what i have coming in in the next container... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayI...WNX:IT&item=200267403806

Hi Guys,
No. I am in Rockhampton!
Have tracked down a product called Resomat from Tru-fit carpets which seems reasonable!
3.4 square metres of 2.7 mm Resomat with heat shield for $175.
Sounds good too me!
Ill let you know how it turns out.
Cheers,
Allan
