Being such a pretty day yesterday, I decided to take the CAV out to Riverhead (abt. 70 mi. each way) to buy a Dynamat kit (the hood kit) which has enough sheets (4) of 20" X 30" or so for $150. I'm glad I did because the cabin noise after an hour's driving is definitely way over 95 db. So I started by lining the inside of the doors, and the vertical panels in the engine bonnet. The doors now sound like a Mercedes when you shut them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif but I haven't run the car again. I did not do the engine to cabin bulkhead piece as it already has a heat/silencer lining and appears to do the job. The entire underside of the bonnet is already lined with what appears to be Thermotec heat barrier sheets. Should I replace those?
So, has anyone done this and what areas do you recommend applying this Dynamat material? Someone suggested lining the top of the wheel wells, then spray with undercoating around it for both sound control and rocks that may potentially crack the exterior paint finish.
Thanks!
