I've installed two ECS carpets that customers insisted on using. Yes they are nice, but it my opinion...highly over rated. You can achieve the same results with the less expensive carpet. :alan2cents:

carpets,
basic inexpensive is trim parts carpet typical of what you get from y/o or oer/classic. then a better would be the ACC with mass back. then ECS. the front is folded and it is shipped freight based on the last one I installed, you will still have to trim play with every carpet. just depends on what you want to spend.
i'll send you pricing on the trim parts and the acc with mass back

ACC is fine, I've never had a problem with it being folded up.

You guys using 80mil or 50mil sound deadener?

ACC from Dave is the ticket.

I never had a problem with ACC, got it, unfolded it - left it in the Sun for a few hours and installed it.

Went like a charm. I had more issues with cutting out the 4 speed hole than anything else (cannot screw this up).

Do you think an additional sound deadener with the Mass backing is needed? I guess it can't hurt.....

If you're goal is sound deadening, I'd say definitely get the mass backing. 
In addition to the sound deadening (and temperature insulating) features, the rubber mass backing also helps the carpet to keep it's molded shape.  While not as pristine as being shipped flat, it's a big step up from cheaper smashed into a box carpet.


Another thing for you to consider is Lizard Skin sprayable sound deadener. 
Every cut and seam in the stick on sound deadener mats (like Dynamat) is a sound leak.  Shaping those mats to fit all the complex contours of a floorboard will result in a lot of cuts and seams, along with a time consuming install.
Sprayable sound deadener is seamless, easy, and fast.
Some people are concerned about whether it's removable.  I've never had a reason to uninstall my sound deadening, but I imagine there would be some way to get it off if you really wanted to.  Those super sticky mats aren't exactly easy to remove either.

Lizard skin would be fine, if the interior was completely apart. I don't think spray on is the answer for me, although I see your point with the seams.

A few bucks is no big deal compared to dealing with Mopar only people.
