It is unbelievable. Running high-flow cats and a 3" dual exhaust system and you can still have a conversation at normal volume. Running non-res test pipes I had to raise my voice a little

Perfect. I just ordered 25 sq ft of the stuff. Price isn't to bad. I'm getting tired of the drone from my exhaust and this weird rattle that happens whenever I am between 3-5k rpm.

That IS amazing. I'm sure I'll be looking into this.

I just ordered it. It'll arrive Friday. I'll have it installed by Sunday. SO I'll let you know how it turns out. Clam is trustworthy though. If he says it's good and worth it. I'll believe him.

Last time before I start blocking people. Whoever leaves reps. Put your name so I know who to rep back.

DeliriousClam · 08-02-2017, 09:27 AM

I will say it can be annoying to put on. Use the rounded end of a screwdriver to help push the matting into corners/curves

madwi · 08-02-2017, 09:34 AM

I think it is time for bed.

TheWolfe · 08-02-2017, 10:07 AM

reps out

how's everyone doing today?

I've got some leftover GT Mat Onyx I do not plan on using. It comes in 12"x12" squares. They sell the stuff for $12/square online, but I got the hookup via Ms. Pint a few years back when she was working for them. I think I've got at least 15 sheets you can have for cheap if you want. Just PM me

Damn. I just ordered from Amazon and it shipped. I appreciate the offer JAR> If this stuff doesn't work out well, I'll let you know.

JARblue · 08-02-2017, 11:15 AM

Although it sounds like you already ordered some.

And to be clear... Dynamat and similar butyl (or asphalt

) products are designed to reduce vibrations more than decibels. They are heavy and are not intended for full coverage as I have learned - sporadic application in key areas is all that should be needed. If you're looking to noticeably reduce decibel levels, you will need closed cell foam. It also weighs a lot less than dynamat, so you aren't adding 75 lbs of the stuff to your car's weight

eastwest2300 · 08-02-2017, 11:19 AM

sssup itches.

eastwest2300 · 08-02-2017, 11:19 AM

rep courageously.

Mainly vibrations. Have some weird stuff happening in the hatch at speed. Really becoming annoying. The rest I will just experiment with in different areas.

You mentioned rattles, so it makes sense that you would be looking at some butyl to lay down. I just wanted to point out there is no need to go overboard with it. I did my entire hatch with the stuff, which was just totally unnecessary and did not help as much as I had hoped. You should never need to use 50+ lbs of the stuff like Clam mentions - you'll get much lower decibel readings with strategically placed butyl and full coverage in CCF. I learned the hard way.

I eventually decided not to go forward with anything else cause racecar. I'll be removing the stuff in the hatch at some point in the future - not looking forward to that.
