Any negative effects when using sound deadeners?
Has anyone had any negative effects after installing Dynamat or BQuiet Utltimate? Does it affect the Tire Pressure Monitoring function in a bad way? Anything else?

I used Dynamat Xtreme and have had no issues. The only difference is the original DM had to be heated before it was applied and sometimes had a tar smell when it got hot. DM Xtreme is peel and stick, also no smell when it's hot. Hope this helps.
BTW, I've done the WHOLE interior as well as, wheel wells and undercarriage.

Thanks guys.
The car interior is stripped, cleaned and ready to go.
I pulled the passenger side door off but except for that rubber seal, it looks like it may not have room for the Ultimate. Did anyone do their doors?

Nope, not my style at all. To me adding weight for something like that is almost sinful
But that's just one perspective

If any of the above is a yes, the Frost King/Dynamat Extreme mod would be worth it's weight in saffron.

Additional weight will be a disadvantage to some. A less noisy ride won't matter to some. I feel differently. I do not race the car and therefore feel that an additional 20-30 pounds is a small price to pay for an enjoyable ride. The sound-deadening project will be completed today. The EMTs are being replaced on Tuesday. If these two changes don't improve the noise and ride, I will sell the car. The roads around here getting so bad that I no longer enjoy driving the car. I hope all this time and expense is worth it.

- never drive x-country (i fly)
- tires; GY EMT's and KD's here (depending on use)
we each value different features/atributes of our c-5's...... and that's cool. we all have fav color & option combos, a car i'd never buy may be your dream, and the other way around

if a mod improves the enjoyment of a car... what difference does it make if you don't recover the mods cost during resale
(within reason... of course)Relax; put the calculator down, and enjoy driving your Corvette
