Sound Deadning a C5 with eDead (Dialup; Heart Attack)
I did this mod a couple of weeks ago. I got a few PMs about it so I thought I would make a quick post.
Had to get Grond a lot higher in the air
To do all the work underneath it. This pic is from the back, looking forward down the empty tunnel
These burn marks are from welding the roll cage
Now you can see why I removed my gas tanks before welding in my cage
Hit it with a quick rattle can
And eDead v1SE all surfaces. This shot is looking up into the gas tank location.
More eDead v1SE
And more rattle can
OK. Time to break out the heavy guns. eDead v3 Liquid
Good stuff. Looks and feels like soft concrete
Time to eDead v3 the entire bottom of Grond.
And the rear quarter panels
I HATE rattles!!!! And with that massive 18inch sub, I'm not taking any chances.
I had a nasty vibration from the gas tank filler area with my old 12inch sub
Not this time. Even eDead v1SE the front & rear bumpers (with rattle can afterwards)
Hit the front too
And above the front fenders
And underneath the windshield washer tank and coolant tank
Added additional v1SE on top of v3 after it cured.
Did the entire interior a few months ago

Stephen... w/ the stuff in sheet form, is it not important to cover the whole surface? It looks like you just put a square piece on each panel.
Not like addidng frost king etc to the inside where you do it all.

When I did the Frost King mod 2 years ago, I did that for noise reduction and it worked great for that, but not to stop panel vibration. Now I am looking strictly to stop vibrations.
Frost King mod
Tim, in 78 degree temps, it took almost 7 hours to fully cure. But I put down thick coats, instead of building up with a lot of thin coats.

Hey Stephen want to do my Vette next
FYI ECS is building me a forged 346 and I'm going with a charger
I was going to do twin turbos but there is a back order of about 2 months now. I talked with Doug and he mention a supercharger is much easier to manage the boost over a turbo so I'm going that route. I'm looking at early to mid Feb for completion. Dude I can't wait

Man, that's awesome, but I bet you're encroaching into f-Body weight territory now.

But I also got rid of a whole bunch of other junk that everyone else have on their cars. To wit; stock leaf springs, stock shocks, AIR pump, EVAP system, cats, stock manifolds, stock exhaust, rear carpeting, carpet padding, runcraps and so on.
Weight is the least of my problems
