ya know i was thinking about that and im glad you chimed in.

Any reason as to why you feel this way?

Just asking.

In case you need to get in there to replace things.

I used fatmat (good price and easy to work with), then realized that I covered it up and went back and tore out that area. Never know when/if you might need to get in there.

Wheel well is a great place to help quiet things down. I'll try to find some pics tonight. I ended up doing the entire car...front to back in fatmat. Less then $100 with shipping.

Here is a couple of mine.

I used Dynamat in the rear seat area. Then I went to an arts and crafts store and bought a sheet of 2" thick styrofoam. Cut that to the correct contour to fit each "bucket" to make laying the carpet down a little easier. No complex curves to try and bunch the carpet up into. Generic black carpet from Walmart matches some of the stock black carpeting I have, just not the rear hatch piece.

That FatMat looks really good. Is it an adhesive backed butyl rubber with foil face? I've used 6" wide 35mil Polyken that looked very similar. With the Polyken there is no room for error, once it's down it's part of the car forever...Robbie can attest to that. Good job guys.

Yes it is. Easy to put down. Heat gun works great. I was going to go the dynomat route, but buddy of mine who works for Alpine said to use the fatmat stuff. Cheaper, does the same thing, plus adds some heat barrier as well.

Good to know, wish i wouldve asked earlier, hahahaha.

You can always do it later. Gotta do whatca can afford to do. The way you did it should cut down on some heat, but not sure about noise. Carpet over it will help as well. My 944 is actually quieter then my GMC. Plus even a decent radio will drown out the road noise anyway. lol

If your going to keep the back seat out, it's a good place for some amps & subs. Someone on here did it and it turned out real nice. I have kids who like to ride it mine so i needed to keep the rear seat otherwise I would of gone that route.

Thanks for the info. I ended up using a dual density Nuprene on sheet metal with a double foil faced heat/sound barrier over that on flat areas of my seat delete/storage cubby. It turned out very quiet and the AC seems more efficient. I did full floors,rear seat delete, and deck with both and just the Nuprene on the walls and vertical panels. Carpet was then cut over that. I'll be doing the new car this summer and want to start modifying how I did it last time, the FatMat looks great.

It's amazing how Ozzy makes my brakes stop squealing and fixes my TT bearings...

if you guys didnt know kuhl 951 is my insperation. I love the set up.

What I can't hear you...music does quiet the beast but I still love the sound of the car pulling hard with everything turned off even more.

Oh don't get me wrong, listening to the engine scream up to 6399RPM before lifting and hitting the clutch is my favorite thing to do. But on long, drawn out drives where such acceleration isn't possible (ie traffic), music is what keeps me sane.

hpservertech

Yup Kuhl's is the one I was thinking about. Keeps looking better every time i see those pictures.

Ok nothing really special today, it rained a bit so I'll call this stage 1.5.
I laid down another layer of my reflcitx and used aluminm tape to seal teh gaps.
