I just installed mine (took about 2 min) and the difference is night and day. Definitely recommend.

Perhaps you can help.
What is the thickness of the "BlockIt Mat" that goes into the rear cargo area?
Did you lay it on top of the carpet, or place the mat under the carpet?
Thanks in advance.

I also cut slits in the blockit mat for the cargo rings.

Here are a few C7 posts I pulled..
installed on my c7 z06. Transformational! The reduction in tire noise is astonishing. Being an engineer i had planned to use my laboratory db meter to measure noise levels with and without the tko blockit kit. As it turns out there is no need to do so because the noise reduction is truly dramatic. This kit is a "must have" for all but deaf c7 owners. I had a '14 z51 which had hellacious tire noise. I was exhausted after driving it for 3-4 hours. The '15 z06 was significantly quieter and rides more smoothly....think chevy vehicle engineers softened the suspension bushings. Seems to be well known that the '15 is a quieter car. Just can't believe how such a relatively inexpensive and easily installed kit can be so effective. I could now drive the car across country....yes, it's that good.
having had blockit in my z06 - i thought it did a great job reducing noise so i added it to the c7 - z51.
It arrived packaged well. Easy install with a precise fit. I was able to use the rings and shade. I found it able to make a nice noise reduction on all surfaces around little rock including interstate and different road surfaces including concrete and asphalt.
I'm very happy with the product!

well, i had a chance to test drive my car on some roads that previously had some serious tire noise due to the road conditions. For the ease of installation and simpleness of the product; i'm very pleased with the it. I was able to lower my radio volume from where it used to be, and hold conversations without raising my voice. In fact i am now aware of other noises that i hadn't previously heard.
So bottom line: i'd recommend(your hearing my vary) .
I can't say it's equal to the kits that require full interior dis-assembly since i didn't do that, but i definitely feel there is value in the product. If you are in southern calif and want to try in your car, come by and we'll throw it in and you can hear for yourself. Or just take my car for a test drive.

received my set of sound deadeners yesterday and promptly installed them in about 10 minutes.
Started the car in my garage and could hardly hear the exhaust with the windows up. Backed it outside ( a lot of snow here now ) and tried the same thing, windows down ,windows up. I will not get to take the z06 out until spring, but i can tell you that there is a substantial difference in the noise factor just sitting in the car and listening to it run.
Great product. Can't wait to do a more extensive test in the spring, but initially this seems to be a great product !!
Many thanks,
dave

Just got my Blockit mats today and did a roadtest on the concrete I16 around Savannah and a couple miles on local black top.
Super easy install - drop in and forget it. I have a coupe.
Big rear mat had the slits for rings.
Put my Stingray logo rear carpet on top of the mat and also put the mats behind the seats.
I can tell a difference in noise ; can hear the radio better and believe a long cruise will be far more pleasant.

That's one of my worries - that alongside cutting down the road noise (which I would desire), it will also cut down the exhaust roar (which I really don't want happening).

Nice and detailed. I know you mentioned exhaust noise in the beginning, but did you find the exhaust noise damped at all with the Block It Mats added?

I put it in my 2016 Z06 last week and the difference is very noticeable. Less tire noise, radio volume setting is lower now and much more enjoyable. As another poster noted the exhaust sound now stands out more; my Z06 exhaust is normally set to track mode.
I did notice the action of the Bose audio pilot (auto volume compensation) is much more noticeable now and I turned it off.
