Question about sound deadning materials...
Well I was curious as to whether anyone has used them? I mean, I love the sound of exhaust, but it can get a little bothersome on long trips. I had posted a suggestion and someone mention why add extra weight? It shouldnt weight more than like 3 pounds right? I don't own a vette yet, but I am in the process of buying one from Steve, so I dont know about the noise on the inside of the cabin, but since im redoing the whole interior and carpet door panels etc.. I was wondering if its something worth doing?

I had some mufflers on the car for a while that sounded great but had an awful resonance problem. I tried some rather expensive, highly touted sound deadening material from Eastwood. It helped very little. I finally ditched the muffs. This is back when it was still pretty stock, BTW.

I used 2 layers of 'Dynomat' under the rear carpet. It took the 'sting' out of the resonance.
If you buy any brand, make sure it doesn't smell like tar. Alot of the cheaper brands do.

I just found a similar topic like this on the C5 section, they say that the stuff you can buy at home depot is almost as good as dynamat extreme frost something I think ill try it when I get the vette 
(well it actualy first depends on how I see the interior noise to be.)

Here are two noise barriers:

Not to be confused with dampeners that reduce the resonation in body panels, ie: dynomat.
The above kill sound. Dynomat like materials kill a VERY SMALL amount of sound, but mostly panel vibration.
