SpeedyAndy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 i'm liking this... i'm thinking about this too. Be good to see what products are out there for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Fleabay has a few. Search for Dynamat and a few others come up too. Fatmat looks to be the best priced, but whether it does as good a job is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I asked the question a while back here is my thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?61009-Sound-Deadening I used fatmat when I did the job, did the job really well Edited February 24, 2013 by Max Headroom added a bit, loss of concentration (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 No pics unfortunately, sorry. Will try and remember to take some pics when I come to do the roof and boot areas. Anyway, I used the Silent Coat products bought from here and they have a good range of other stuff too: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/itemlist.html?cfsearch1=f_brand&cfvalue1=Silent+Coat The dampening principle is fairly straightforward acoustic dynamics really but a lot of people still opt for covering every visible part of a panel in dynamat! Helps if you think of a Rolf Harris style wobble board 1m x 1m - if you then stuck a piece of dampener material into the centre of that board measuring 25 x 25cm, the sound produced would be very much reduced if not eliminated.

Stevo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Here's some more useful links: http://www.deadening.co.uk/ This guy knows his stuff and is good at explaining it all (better than me anyway lol). Some good tutorial type guides too... http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi http://sounddeadenershowdown.com/wp/ Exhaust specific: http://sounddeadenershowdown.com/wp/home/noise-sources/exhaust/exhaust-drone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Cheers Stevo. Couple of bulk packs of the Silent Coat stuff should do most of it I reckon. Would give 8sq metres. Cost around £150 total. Not a bad price for a nicer place to drive in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Is it heavy stuff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The dampening mats are surprisingly heavy like Joe. They're usually mass loaded to help absorb the resonance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I've done my doors, rear seats and floor so far and its made a big difference to my NA running a HKS Hi-Power. Especially low-end sounds when on the motorway. Thanks Stevo, What would you recommend for Rear boot Under rear seats Front foot well Would like to reduce the exhaust drone coming in, and the rattle in the rear hatch area.

Alex Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I used this stuff (to kill resonance from the boot to the seat floors and everything in between) as it's 2mm thick and very easy to work with. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DYNAMAT-SUPERLITE-BULK-KIT-10648-SOUND-DEADENING-PROOFING-MATERIAL-SUPER-LITE-/150740730155?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item2318d9012b In the doors I have Skinz 3mm Extreme matt with the eggshell foam stuff...the doors now thud (tap them and they seem solid not tinny) I'm now in the process of going back in the the rear arch area...will pull out the clear plastic cover and extreme matt the arches. Looking forward to driving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I dyno matted my old supra all the way through. Cost me 400 pounds from memory using the real deal large 2 x dynomat boxes to get the job done. Probably got some pictures somewhere. It took a good few weekends to complete the whole car, making the fit nice and tight with a small inch roller. It did make the car very quiet inside and reduced the road noise massively, although I never got around to fitting any further stereo equipment. Personally now looking back - I wish I never wasted my time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've just bought a bulk pack of Silent Coat Extra (4mm thick), which consists of 24 sheets with a coverage of 25 sq.ft, it was advertised as 23 sheets but I've received 2 x 12 sheet packs. It's seemed like the best value for money stuff (£75 delivered) and I've read a lot of good reviews. I'm planning to do the boot and doors, hopefully if there's any left over I'll do some bits such as door pillars and some of the rear quaters. I was hoping to make a start tomorrow, but I've woken up to a ton of snow so I'll probably have to put it off but I will take some photo's.

imi Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Anyone managed to source the material and complete their supra since the thread post? Thoughts, feedback?

Abz Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Anyone managed to source the material and complete their supra since the thread post? Thoughts, feedback? Not yet, though I did some work on my car today and after 15 minutes I had to go back in! Too freezing cold, my fingers were going numb.

Alex Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 FWIW, I've used some Skinz 3mm pads on the doors + skinz egg shell foam from my local http://www.fourmasterscaraudio.co.uk/ store. Both parts seem to do a good job and the doors are thud satisfyingly when tapped by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
