I have Kooks headers w/catted x-pipe and Corsa sport mufflers. The Drone is only at around 1600 RPM and I can live with it, however, the woman is used to the way it was when it only had a Corsa Touring exhaust and then it was extremely quiet. Still haven't decided to do Dynamat, BlockIt or both...

I couldn't tell any difference with mine installed.....but I already had a Loyds cargo mat back there.....maybe that's all you need? These are also very heavy, although they do fit nicely. The way I grade a particular mod is ask myself "would I do this again?" and my answer to this mod would be no.
Took them out and sold them a couple weeks later...luckily got what I paid for them so it wasn't a loss

Agreed...installed the 3 pieces in my car and my wife and I couldn't tell any measurably difference. Complete waste of money for us...maybe they're designed just for stock cars to remove the runflat tire noise (mine has full boltons and non runflat tires).

Busted of what, exactly? I sold exactly what he was looking to buy at a good price and in the for sale thread when asked if it worked I responded with "not well"
Go troll elsewhere, please
As I said, I would imagine that it would have more of an impact reducing tire noise on a stock car than anything else.

I have the LLoyds cargo mats in my C6 as well and put the blockit cargo under it. I don't hear any appreciable difference, although it might have value if I didn't have the cargo mats. I live on long island and if anyone want to pick up my set for $100. I would be happy to sell it to them.

I bought my 07 A6 convertible in late Oct, 2010. The previous owner had installed a CAI, GHLs and a tune. I purchased the car in New Jersey and drove it to Nova Scotia, after 2 7-8 days in the car with the GHLs I was near crazy. It is just too loud for me so I purchased a set of corsa sports from another forum member and the Block-it from Shawn. The car went into storage as soon as I got home so no chance to test either yet. I don't recall being told it didn't work well, but then I don't think I asked. Shawn you are right you advertised them and I bought them, I just thought it was funny reading you post about selling them because I bought them. Buyer beware. Don't sweat it man.

I have a 2010 ZR1 and installed the block it with a noticeable positive result in noise reduction at normal highway cruising speeds in 5th and 6th gears. It is particularly helpful hear in MN on the concrete road surfaces that have score lines from the finishing process. Money well spent for me.

Hey Barduch....I thought it was funny. It was ironic that I was reading a forum post about a product I bought from a seller that didn't think it worked. Again Buyer Beware....I should have researched the product more thoroughly, but maybe it will provide some positive results for me as it has for some. To the seller...we agreed on a price and you shipped it promptly as agreed. No problems.
If it doesn't work for me I can sell it again. This will be some well travelled Block-it.

IMHO the Blockit noise insulation kit works "as advertised". I had the Lloyds cargo mat and floor mats, as well as padded roof headliners, an extra cargo curtain, and a cargo compartment partition installed before installing the Blockit kit. After installing the kit I could still detect a noticeable reduction in road noise sound. Was the difference like day and night? No. Was it a worthwhile noise reduction for the price? I thought so, but that is my personal judgement. After installing the Blockit kit I then replaced all four OEM Goodyear Runcraps before needed with Michelin A/S Plus Z/P (Runflats). These cost $1,440.00 (including $97.50 tax), but further reduced road noise and harshness. This in a coupe equipped with F55 adjustible magnetic ride control, which also reduces road noise and harshness. The end result, while not perfect, is a LS3 M6 NPP Vette with touring car ambience, which is what I was seeking.

I am adding a JL stealthbox sub and will need to modify the Blockit Mat. I was thinking of making a rear area template using shipping paper. Then using the template to cut the Mat. Will use a brand new sharp box cutter to do the cutting. Any other suggestions or thoughts on this?

I got mine yesterday and installed it last night.
First drive to work this morning and I can tell you it makes a big difference. Those that say it doesn't must have some really frickn' loud exhausts.
It took the resonance away that the road puts through the rear hatch area (hatch floor, plastic) and the road noise from the tires is probably cut in half.
There's also a noticeable "quietness" inside the rear now that I never had before. I always had that "white noise" behind my head from all the noises coming from the rear hatch area. Now it sounds like the entire car is quieter.
It made such a difference I am no longer worried about putting dynamat or peel and seal in my car. I will however still do the peel and seal on the floor boards under the car because now that the rear is so much quiter I hear road noise from under the car... lol.
And I'm not really sure why I read about guys putting those smaller pieces behind the seats UNDER the carpet? They fit perfect, stick in place and you'll never see them.
.....
Overall, it's a great buy and I'm glad I bought mine!!
P.S. It has a REALLY strong plastic odor that I hope goes away.

My install over a year ago made a significant reduction in road noise. The odor went away in a few days. I did install mine under the carpet because it was so obvious sticking out around the seats. Perhaps they are cutting the behind the seat pieces differently now. The back piece is nicely concealed under the Lloyds mats, its cut is perfect. I am curious about the peel and seal pieces that you are referring to, my wife still complains that the corvette does not ride as well or quietly as our 3 ton Landcruiser. It does, however, corner a bit better than the LC (not so sure she fully appreciates that either). Who handles that peel and seal product?
