Mass back is the type to buy. It replaces your current carpet and insulation. The poly back is glued on top of your original carpet and is of a lesser grade carpet.

Mass Back is the way to go. I just received a set from Stock Interiors. They are great to deal with and you can get samples in two days.

As far as heat/sound barrier, look at Exotic Vettes. Nice clean job..

I am installing this below the new carpet.
