I heard about this foil looking stuff they sell in rolls at Home depot. Cant remember the forum i read it on but it had great reviews.

I thought id chime in again. Just did a $130 sound deadening "experiment". Against some advice, i used peel and seal( not the brand but same thing from lowes). I did the door panels, under rear seat, and a ton in the trunk. Used almost 3 rolls.
I ALSO used a ton of 6lb carpet padding behind every other panel and really jammed it in there. Especially where the spare tire and washer reservoir used to be. My battery and amp now reside there so its nice and clean looking.
Also, new carpet front to back from OC auto carpets. I paid extra for the mass backing, which made it a royal pain in the as$ to install. I mean, that was fn difficult to get it right.
Results: Way beyond what i expected. This thing is QUIET now. No rattles, the sound quality from the audio is amazing now and the road noise and especially exhaust are much much softer on the ears. Id take a wile guess and say i added nearly maybe 65lbs-80lbs max. The carpet being the vast majority of the weight. I dont care about a little extra weight cause i chopped almost 50lbs with after market seats.
And eveen if i didnt, i dont care. Thats what bigger turbos are for : more power to haul that extra weight.
NOTE: There is absolutely ZERO smell of asphalt and it has been sitting for days in the sun getting very hot with the windows closed.
I highly recommend this to everyone. Its cheap and maybe not exactly like dynamat but i bet its 75%as good, atleast.
No, but next time i go ill look. You cant miss it, its by the roofing materials. Think it comes in 6"X25' rolls. Ive got half a roll left but it doesnt have the name anywhere on it. They only sell one kind though. Make sure to get the roll with the aluminum backing. You dont want shit getting stuck to it on the wrong side ya know. thats pretty obvious.
Weeks later, very hot out. Checked everything out a couple days ago. No smell at all and nothing peeling off. Stuff really works well just use a bunch
Awesome, thanks for the tip I'll check the local store here and see if I can find the same stuff. I found a donor car for internal panels at a salvage yard not far from my house, so I'm thinking of taking the time to pull the interior out and replace the carpet (OC auto carpets has a 50% discount atm) and sound deaden the interior this weekend. Any idea how much time you spent on the strip down and install?
How much come in each roll? Trying to get a rough est of how many sq ft I would need7 rolls.
good looking out I didn't even notice the date. new here@Hsanchez1218 The last post was Feb. 2014, so I doubt they're still active, or will respond.
