Dynamat is so overpriced I wouldn't suggest it to anyone..

I did a huge sound deadening/heat insulation project back in January on my 67 and used 100sqft of Fatmat off of Ebay. Most were selling for about 90$ but there was 1 listing for like 70$(shipped) so I snatched it up quick.

If you do the math, not only is PeelnSeal alittle less quality (its all in the thickness), its more expensive too. 15$ for 12.5sqft, that's 120$ for 100sqft.

its actually thicker than i think you guys are expecting. i found a couple versions of this stuff and this was the thickest. my dad is going to buy a small square of dynamat and we're going to compare it with the peel and seal i bought.

it was kinda an impromptu project too. i just found a little leftover in our shed that my dad must have bought years ago so i decided to lay it down. and i decided to go buy more and do my whole floors. some may say it doesnt work as well as name brand **** but we used it in our truck and i know it works. like someone said, its all about the thickness. and this is thick enough.

Hey that is looking awesome, nothing like getting some fresh liner in there. That stuff looks awesome!, are you gonna go all the way into the trunk with it? How many square feet are you using?

I know how thick it is. I ran out of FatMat and had to use a roll of PeelnSeal for my firewall. Also used it for the trunk of my 98.But yes, better than nothing for sure..

I have some posts showing my progress, one after 50sqft and another after 100sqft. I overlapped and doubled alot too. I'll try to find them since I'm bored...

Here's a suggestion for you if your interested. Instead of sound proofing your entiretrunk, perhaps you could seal off your trunk from the cabin and sound deaden the barrier. I made a rear seat divider myself and soundproofed it good. I figured, the trunk and can as noisy as it likes as long as I dont hear it. I did however lay some down on the tank and differential hump before I thought about it...

That what I plan on doing. Why waste doing to entine trunk when you could make a small panel. I will make mine out of some thin wood, the velcro it in place, that way it is easily removable.

Also, alot of people on here have used eDead from www.elementaldesigns.com
It can be bought as cheap as 1$ a foot and I have a coupon code (eDeadBA) that you can redeem for 15% off. 50ft comes to $54.11

oh ok good idea thanks.

my grandpa keeps informing me to get that the kit that has the sheetmetal that bolts up behind the backseat for safety if you get rearended. i guess its flame proof and stuff. or i might make a panel that fits behind the seat out of sheetmetal and layer it with the matting.

the reason i wanted it in the trunk anyways it cause i think itll seal it up nice and keep out water and moisture. cause i can already see a little bit of surface rust where the tar came off. plus its a nice layer for the carpet to lay on.

+1 on this idea. It not only cuts sound but doubles as a safety feature. I made my own divider as well, I still did the trunk though I had a ton of mat left after doing the interior of the car.
