Default insulation

thinking of installing an insulation kit on my c6. I would like to hear any recommendations and or pros or cons.

Not really worried about weight. more interested in sound deadening. I drive the car a lot on long cruises.

Not a caddy, so anything that you add to the car, is just adding weight.
Hence the reason that GM when on the light side with what insulation that they did add to the sports car, to keep the car as light as they could to begin with.

Reflective gave around the tunnel is light and effective. UNDER the car, before it gets into the chassis
