I installed HushMat. It did make a difference. Kind of expensive and really HEAVY.

I have heard that there are alternate products available for much less money.

If you want it quieter, you will be adding weight. Period.

Don at www.sounddeadenershowdown.com has some great recommendations for how to make your car quiet. I'd start there. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence floating around about the best way to do it, but Don breaks down the science and explains how to do it the right way, the way a manufacturer would.
