My exhaust setup is definitely the dominant noise in my cabin right now so it's hard to differentiate, but I put some GTMat on the wheelwells and I suppose sound from rocks being picked up was a bit more muffled. The road noise difference was greater when I swapped out the noisy OEM tires for my RE-11s. That being said, I didn't fully cover the wheelwells and upper sides of the trunk. My main goal was to quiet the exhaust note in the cabin.

Overall, happy with the product & will probably be ordering more down the road.

I just installed 14sqft, which covered the bottom of the trunk and some of the rear wheelwells.
