Default partition question

I am in the market for a partition and had some questions. I see that some are made of foam, MDF, ABS plastic, etc. Which one of these would be best for making the cabin quieter? Thanks!

"O.E.M. Vinyl on cabin-side black carpet trunk-side; CNC machined from dual layer hdf (hi density fiberboard) for exact fit, using O.E.M. material on both sides. This stylish partition includes a plexiglass insert that can be matched to any body paint color." Z06parts.com quailty is top of the line. tamed the inside of my cabin with my stingers in the back.expense but worth every penny.

Andy's stuff is topnotch, and really added refinement and more versatile storage for my Z06. BTW, I went with a Torch Red plexiglass insert with the standard C5 emblem. Looks great!

Make it yourself, then you can use what you want. I used 1" MDF in my FRC and it GREATLY reduced tire and resonance noise.
