Dynamat

Does this actually help reduce road noise?

Saw a cople of posts regarding this but has anyone got some feedback regarding the outcome/difference it made?

Cheers

It does help, when applied correctly, in the correct places. It's mainly to reduce vibration but also does reduce background noise.

I've got some different stuff in my GT-R at the moment that doesn't need to be heated and it's quite malleable.

I've used the 'pikey' method of using flashing tape as sound deadening on a previous car and to be honest it worked very well for the price. The proper stuff should work well I imagine.

Cool. Been thinking about applying this when I get my car back from paint shop.

Wot stuff are you using johnny? The dynamat need to be heated does it?

I have this and the difference is remarkable. 15-20 year old Supe's cab noise reduction is easily on par with modern day fandangled N/R tech.

I have used this on most cars I've owned and makes a huge difference.

On my last supra I used flashing from B and Q and that was just as good and a lot lighter and cheaper

Good to hear. Looks like it will be a worthwhile addition!

I've always been interested in this too, but not really sure on exactly where to put it.

I mean, to make a noticeable difference, how mad do you need to go?

Mine is in the boot floor and door cards

A noticeable difference you don't actually need a lot.

But you can go over board.

Best places to start, transmission tunnel, door cars, rear seat and boot. And doesn't have to cover every inch as it absorbs vibrations and sounds.

But you can cover every inch of metal and it would work a treat.

Flashing from B&Q is a really good substitute and is easier to place and mould.

You don't have to go mad at all. Iirc piece in the centre of a panel/area is enough. I think it's roughly a third (no more than half) the size of the square area that it is going on.

For example, (I know it isnt, but hey) if you did a door. Say it's 2 metres squared in area. A piece in the centre of the door 65cm squared, should be enough.
