Sound deadner/insulation

What are people using under the carpet?

Dynamat seems to be fairly popular. Is there much difference in function between Dynamat and the cheaper generic type products?

Some cheap brands are thinner, you have to check the label for thickness, otherwise they pretty much do the same purpose.

On a couple of resto-mods I've done I used a brand called WIREZ, same thickness but literally half the cost of dyno-mat.

Peel & Seal . . .

I bought Fatmat, worked great! I think its just as good as Dynamat and less expensive.

We  sell the Eastwood and one other brand, I used Proform on my orange car. I think they all are pretty comparable.

Thanks guys, sounds like they are pretty much the same.
I guess anything has to be better than the carpet underlay direct on the floorboards.

To do what you see the other fellas have done here, will be more than 100 sq/ft  so any savings will add up quickly.

@redgum78 you need it shipped to Australia?  I used these guys...

I live in a desert and these guys are based in New Mexico.  I liked their product.  It sells on Amazon.  Buying from them you can get a better deal if you buy their "B" stock.

For the Cuda, I ordered 2 36' bulk packs that come in 9 18" x 32" sheets that made measuring, cutting and fitting easier for me.  This covered the floor and doors, I did not do behind the rear panels or roof.

For my Cuda, I think I ended up buying four or five rolls (each roll comes in a 6" wide roll that is 25' long).  I did my entire firewall, floor and rear wheel wells up to the trunk entrance . . . I also ended up putting some on my doors as well.

Okay....I thought I used more then that...it's been awhile....The stuff I bought came in 90 sq/ft rolls I believe, maybe I'm wrong...

[redgum78]

Was anyone using their car prior to fitting?

Curious to know how much improvement in both noise and heat after fitting the insulation?

[Katfish]

Great question above, along those lines, where is the most bang for the buck?
I'm mainly concerned about noise, the rattle type these old cars have.

Would I hear improvements just doing the doors, or is the floor needed too.

Appreciate the sqft numbers, based on both responses, sounds like 72sqft is the number.
