I used some of this stuff in my walls when I did some in wall speakers for my home theater, but it's for automotive use. It's made by Mr. Gasket, and I bought it from Titan Motorsports. If you don't see it on the site call and ask, I know they had a lot when I bought a case:

Didn't they just close this thread??

RCZ · 02-18-2010, 11:57 AM

why would they close it??

Not something I would do, but I'm sure lots of people in here are interested in what he is doing. Doesn't hurt to know either.

I wonder if MiniCobra saw this and what his thoughts are on the product.

G Fo12ce, how much of a sound reduction would you estimate this product is good for, and how much weight was added to the Z?

LOL I was just trying to lighten things up from a previous thread about the same subject that got a 'lil testy.

At any rate I think you have to either apply something very thick to the inside of the well or put insulation inside the car. A spray on coating would likely be pretty limited in it's effectiveness.

I'm surprised Minicobra even tried this as there have been numerous posts that say this technique is a FAIL.
Hope springs eternal though....

Anyway, the real reason is the sticky tires. Put some Grandma all seasons on there and problem solved!

My RX-8 has this too and I wish Nissan would do something similar for the Z.

I agree with others here that the wheelwell noise is excessive and quite annoying on certain road surfaces (shame on Nissan for cheaping out). The guys that are funny are the ones removing any sound absorption materials. 10 - 20 lbs ain't gonna make any noticeable difference in the performance of a 3000 lb car.

Thanks for the info. So did applying this just in the wheelwells quiet it enough (a lot?) or did you also have to do some sound blanket work on the inside plastic well covers also?

I appreciate any tips/suggestions.

It's helping, but still needs some more treatment. The next step is to use the sound mat on the inside of the fender wells -inside the car and possibly some more coats of the rubber spray. I'll keep you all posted as I make progress and as to what makes the biggest difference.

just curious, will sound mat hold onto water/moisture and will it cause rust on metal parts due to holding onto moisture?
