Dynomat for sound deadning
I installed dynomat on the very back panels behind the carpet and on the backside of the center storage compartment in my coupe. I'm trying to reduce interior resonance for the wife. Anyone else used this and where all did you install it with what results? It already has made a difference, but could be better.

:seeya ...hey man, I've see more than a few people use the stuff here, hopefully someone will chime in
and I'm interested as well, the Borlas do create resoannce, but they are never going away, so if dynomat actually makes a difefrence, I'm in!

The dynomat made the most noticable change in the back end of the vette, one layer of SMC is all that seperates you from the road.
If you were only going to do half the vette I would do the back end.

Re: Dynomat for sound deadning (99 Torch Coupe)
I dynamatted the entire interior of my '01, except for the doors. It took 5 boxes, 12 sq.ft. per box. It was expensive (around $250), but it did quiet down the interior a lot. I did the rear one weekend, and the front cabin the next weekend. The rear will cut out the exhaust and tire noise, the front quieted down the engine and driveline tunnel noise. It is worth it if you aren't worried about adding the extra weight.

Re: Dynomat for sound deadning (LT4POWR)
Dynamat is .68 lbs./ft2 (from their website)
Lets see... .68 lbs./ft2 x 12 ft2/box x 5 boxes = about 40 lbs.
they also have a slightly lighter version.

Re: Dynomat for sound deadning (Fast one)
I used the Dynamat Xtreme, which has a foil backing on it. This made it much easier to apply, gave some additional heat insulation with the foil, and should hold up longer. I would guess that it was about 1/8th of an inch thick.
