FREE! GTMat Automotive Sound Deadener

Big worm · 02-23-2013, 08:55 PM

i got a free sample of this and wanted to deaden my exhaust drone. but a trusted friend and shop owner said something about how i shouldnt apply this onto my trunk's frame as it will get too hot and melt the adhesive into a sticky tar. he heated a small sample to show me. i dont know if it would be a big problem though. im not leasing the car or anything. anyone have some insight?

I don't have that problem at all, the hatch gets "hot" not hot enough to mess with GTMat, not even close, I tested it after driving hard and leaving it in the sun on a HOT day. No issues here!
(You also gotta think that they're in TX, which isn't exactly cold during the summer)

If you're still really concerned, you can go with their Onyx, it'll give you a bit more deadening because it's thicker, and it doesn't have any asphalt so no worry about the "smell"

What he said.

We have not had any reports of melting from customers. Due to high demand, we released a butyl based product that is identical to the big name brand. Pm the gtmat account for a free sample kit. I'll get them all processed Monday morning.

If you don't want to use the asphalt based product, we can offer a discounted quote on our higher end butyl mat. Please PM me with how much you need and I'll get back to you ASAP.
