I hear ya on the weight/price issue, but you usually get what you pay for.. You have to have the weight to have the density required to deaden the sound/vibration. But, I've never smelled tar! I've used dynamat on my last three cars. It is possible that their lower end stuff is of less quality and smells when it get heated.. If I use it, I use the extreme stuff. Its definitely a different compound, its lined with aluminum, and is a better deadener.

I did not want to correct one problem then add another.. since I was trying to kill two birds with one stone... in reducing tire noise and heat... noting the tunnel area especially near the cats get very warm..

One of the best resources for hardware and industrial supplies is www.macmaster.com , MacMaster-Carr. This is a wonderful place for acoustic materials, and anything else like stainless screen.
When I had the exhuast off I removed the center plate and insulated inside the tunnel, with foam and ceramic tape. Now almost no heat or sound.
I laid a mat of sound insulation foam over the Black wing air filter covering the total area ahead of the Rad, which lowers the engine noise.
