So my upholstry shop bailed on me yesterday. I took the car to them with the new carpet kit and he said "I just don't feel comfortable". So after I talked with Van(guys a rock star seriously...) he put my incontact with my new best friend Tom who owns/works @ Advanced Automotive. I visited their shop and let me tell you its top notch. Two 964 cup cars in the show room with a 944 turbo race car![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
I'm sending the car to him to totally go through before the eastcoast meet. I got a loose shifter, bad ball joints, some worn suspension bushings, old brakes, torn interior, etc etc. He says he feels comfortable installing my 928leather carpet set and installing new seats. I told him I want the car really quiet. I asked if he could install dynomat for me underneath the new carpet and he said sure but, i'd have to provide it.
I need enough dynomat to cover the main center console tunnel, floorboards, rear seat area, hatch, even the side panels, and fuel filler neck. I mean i'm covering the car in it. So how much dynomat do I need? Where can I buy this stuff? I want to place a order online somewhere and just have it shipped to me.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Also what sort of adheasive to we need to connect the carpet to the dynomat. The dynomat should be peel and stick(I think) to the metal of the floorboards but, Tom says they use carpet glue normally to install interior. Will this adheasive work on the dynomat?
If all go's well I should be able to send the car to get all of this done and a few other tidbits by May 1st.

i think dynomat comes in sheets of 18x32. I helped my dad install dynomat all throughout his 911. If i remember correctly he just used 3M high strength adhesive and he's had no problems since.

Where did your dad buy his sheets? I'm looking for a online retailed and I've been told what I want to buy is called Dynomat Extreme.
*edit* I guess I can just order it straight from them. Does anyone have any idea how much I need? I think i'd want to do the doors too. They also aparently have something good for firewalls. We could keep down heat transfer from our turbos, and they now sell hood liners. WOW I have no idea.

John,
You can order direct from DynaMat or Google car audio wholesale and click DynaMat on any of the websites. I have had good luck finding it cheaper from the wholesalers than Dyna themselves.
And yes, it is self adhesive on one side.

Its now nearly a 100% street car and that changes things greatly. So I'm going to make it the nicest I possibly can. I'm not worried about saving weight anymore. Which is funny cause even 6 months ago I couldn't of told you that. After driving the car now again though for these couple of months I've come to some conclusions. Its too loud, its too rough, it needs ALOT of little things here and there to make it absolutely perfect and thats what I'm after now. I mean I'm even ordering new brake and coolant reservoirs.

For my temp seat solution I've been looking at heated 993 turbo seats and I'm sure those weigh just as much as my current ones do
![ducking](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon107.gif)
So it looks like I'll be buying the extreme and also the extremliner as well. Its a layered thick foam style piece that I can fit with the dynomat and the carpet. I think I might try and get some of this stuff for the firewall and the turbo shield to help with heat.

John, I'm thinking of going the opposite way to you. I can't afford a track only car at the moment and I want to lighten my Grey one but I don't know if I want to do the complete strip of all carpets, so is this Dynomat stuff a good compromise? Can we strip all the sound deadening stuff out of our cars and then put in a much lighter version of our carpets?

You don't have to cover the entire panel with dampener to be effective. If you really want quiet, you need to use a noise barrier as well. I've posted about it before: https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...dampening.html
Personally, I don't care for Dynamat. I switched to B-Quiet years ago and have been been very happy with their Ultimate deadener. I've also seen that most shops/individuals use the wrong product for the wrong application. Deadener is used to kill resonance. Isolator (noise barrier) is used to reduce noise levels. You need both.

Like John, I don't really care about weight....each sub-woofer weighs 22lbs (x3), not to mention the components,amps, second battery, etc. AND the approx 70lbs of D-Mat.
I guess if I took at the system I would have a 10 second car.....

DONT USE dynomat, check out this company, dynomat is inferior to what they sell and is around the same prices. Damplifier & a sheet of Luxury Liner as noise barrier is what I have covering the the rear of my 951

I've just found there is no true compromise between being fast at the track and being fun on the street.

Dynamat...not so much. At least not for saving weight, although there are some variants out there that accomplish much the same but at a w. savings.
