So, i just finished Dynamatting the area underneath my rear seats and using Great Stuff foam to spray inside those enormous hollow wheel well areas above each rear wheel. GREATLY reduced road noise in the rear. However, i would like to stop the noise coming from the front. Any ideas on where to apply expanding foam or place down dynamat in the front areas?

You know this is going to add ALOT of weight right?!

Dynamat will add a ton of weight, but if you want to do it I would suggest the floor panel and footwell in the front of the car. You'd have to remove the seats and carpets. Also, you can dynamat the doors as well, just remove the door skins and have at it. Just be sure to either avoid the door opening mechanism or put some sort of insulator between it and the dynamat, otherwise your door handles will stick to the gooey tar on the bottom of the dynamat.

f the dynamat and foam crap just turn up the stereo or get a louder exhaust FTW

It doesnt add that much weight... i only used a few strips which maybe weigh a combined total of 3 lbs. and the foam weighs close to none.

Where did you hear about this? I'm very interested as I'm always on the highway and hate my road noise.

road noise? it doesnt really bother me i love hearing the car when im driving but just incase my system will drowned everything out... but the other feasible place really would be to pull up the carpet in the front and dynamat that front area as close to the fire wasll as possible.

See what you can do with the center console. The exhasut passes right under there, and in your case, so does the driveshaft. My girlfriend's Audi has quite a bit of the thick wooly foam matting all inside the center console, shifter, and armrest area. Up near the firewall where your pedals mount, there is some insulation, but if this is important to you, that's one of the major places that would need more of it.
