Pros and Cons of Hood Sound Deadening Material

[bwest]

had it (dynaliner).

shit burns fast and hot. If you like your car, don't use it.

 

[Yellow 13]

Am I the only one who drives around with a fire extinguisher?

Anyways, I took the material out.

What other heat barriers, besides stock, is recommended? I'd like to also be able to put it on the firewall, where the turbos/downpipe would be at.

Seen 'em use something on the MKIV drag cars and other hotrods...

 

[NashMan]

if it ant riped to shit don't bother

but if you want your bov to be louder then remove it

if you weight queen then it most likly gone now all ready


on my other car it's gone as well as the under hood braceing

 

[tekdeus]

i was thinking of dynamating every place in the car where the stock sound deadening is. after you remove it of course.

Any idea how much weight that might save? I've been thinking of doing the same since I got a bulk pack of Xtreme on hand. It is thinner than stock.

^might not save any weight but it would make the car a lot quieter...

Even though the Dynamat Xtreme is about half the thickness of the stock material? Is the stock material less dense?

 

[bwest]

yes. dynamat, vblock, brown bread - all that stuff is much denser than the stock carpet insulation. and it works better too.

not to mention that the majority of the stock sound insulation separates from the sheetmetal of the car (ok, at least in the case of my car) and actually adds to the loudness problem by rattling.

You will probibly end up using more then stock. I did the doors on my supra. every exposed metal part got like 2 layers. Damn things sounded like a bank vault when I closed them.

I love that.

:love:

my car didn't come with the crap under the hood. its painted black so if it got messed up you wouldn't notice & also the last owner put stickers everywhere lol.

Ah, you answered my question before I was about to ask it...Did you actually get inside the door and apply the deadening, or just apply it behind the interior panel?

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

this whole thread to me sounds like ur putting dead shit in ur car doors & everywhere if u think about it

:rofl:

dynomatt does work wonders though

Everywhere.

Clean the paint before installing it.


It's amazing the difference.

 

[tekdeus]

I guess I'll have to peel up a chunk of the stock material and compare the weight to my dynamat to see what the difference is.

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

i have a full blue carpet in my room. the stuff is thick a piece of it broke off when i was putting it in plastic bag.

 

[mkIIIman089]

Holy...

Come on, there is completely NO effort at all going in to spelling the names of these products correctly. It really is pathetic!

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

i know its dynamat but i really don't care for its name i know what it is & how to spell it. get over it lol.
