Peel and seal from Lowes.
Cheap and deadens like a mofo.

you can follow the josh plan and line your car with unwanted children - his mother kept her trailer warm the same way

Steal blankets from the homeless.
Steal from the Fair skinned ones, they aren't really homeless. they probably got mad blankets next to their digital cameras.

I googled sound deadening and came across a car audio forum which recommended using "peel & seal" from lowes/home depot. Many people stated that it was "the same thing as dynamat", and one guy even claimed that dynamat purchased this material and stamped their logo on it when their supplies got short... I was thinking "yeah, in internet everything is a conspiracy world, maybe."
Then I purchased it.
-Me, a former dynamat installer, and a body work guy all said "wow, same thing as dynamat."
-The backing is plain white, so the restamping may be valid, who knows.
Things to consider:
-Weight: Each roll (6in x 25ft) is only 4.1 lbs. I doubt most cars that are worried about weigh would take more than 3 rolls to do.
-Price: Each roll (6in x 25ft) is $12. That much dynamat is probably $150 or so.
-Quality: I'm VERY pleased. It molds and sticks better than I would've imagined.
Tips:
-Go from front to rear of car in floor plans, not side-to-side. This is obvious to some, but I learned the hard way... I had to go back over some spots on the passenger side.
-Brake cleaner is really good for cleaning your cutter afterwards.

What is the cost of this stuff.
-
It's about 16 dollars a roll, it's water proof too! If you don't want the foil look it comes in black in the window section at lowes.

How many rolls did it take to do the whole interior like that?
-
have him drop in a set of ear plugs. 176 cents and ur golden u fuckin balding sour balls tasting niglit
-
Guy in the thread said 3 rolls, and that's in a Mustang
-
id just use some ear muffs. that way you could use a mp3 player in them as well and easy to take on off. and you dont have to have the feeling of plugs in your ear. if you dont already have them there only 10-20 dollars for a decent one.

I've never used it for sound damping so I wouldn't know, I use it in the construction industry for windows, flashing, etc.
Measure your interior floor and do some simple math and you can get an idea, shouldn't take more then 3 roles or so in a honda.
If you can't figure it out just give me the area of your floor and I will do the math, I don't mind.

and where is Evans road trip going through

who the fuck even cares alittle about this musty pile of scrot

im not even sure who evan is so not this guy

Just deal with it.

Driving with headphones/ear muffs is illegal, make sure your hoody is up.

Was the Hatch delivered to a new owner?

Evan, being a man, is not bothered by a little road noise. That hot late teenage girl he's been shacking up with, however, has her own perspective on the matter.
-
Peel and seal doesnt work for shit as sound deadner, it slightly stops rattles, doesnt stick for shit on vertical surfaces though
Raamat BXT b stock ($100 for 65sq ft) should do a layer around the entire car and a roll of ensolite on the floor will do WONDERS, luxury liner pro on the floors if you can afford it
-
most people here don't care about car audio.
I used too.
-
He asked how to deaden the exhaust noise, I posted how to.... who said anything about car audio
-

I like car audio. I don't like big subwofers than unbalance the music I'm trying to listen to.
-
Hi, Evan. :)
-
Evan is me you fuckers. Thanks for the post/help JD. I picked up a couple rolls of the peel n seal the other day, gonna give it a whirl. I'll let you know how it goes. It's gotta help a little over just the thin ass sheet metal that these civics are made of. It's mostly the drone of road noise and exhaust echoing inside the car that make it so obnoxious. I don't usually mind the noise, but I've got another 2200 miles to drive with the g/f in about a week.
-
Hi, Evan. :)
That's just creepy.

That's just creepy.
I did not ask to be born the Grand Wizard of the Internet, these things just happen.

Might have to get some peel and stick for my Dodge, that old cummins sure does rattle it. It's nice to find something more affordable than fucking dynamat extreme

Make sure to post results, I'm curious as to how well it works.

In the miata, I've got a layer of Peel-n-seal on the floor (2 layers on trans tunnel) for vibration/sound/heat and a layer of some aluminum covered bubble wrap shit for heat/some sound deadening.
You will want a heat gun if you're using the peel-n-seal

Yes, heat helps. Mineral spirits to clean the surface, and a roller or two helps tons also.
And, it will stick to vertical surfaces as well as roofs, regardless of what the previous person said. Prep it right and it works.

Will it stick to roof and doors with heat, YES, will it STAY stuck to roofs and doors after a few hot and cold days... NO
Ive used it, the stuff sucks compared to a butyl based deadner, it also stinks on hot days, doesnt deaden noise worth a shit and is a general waste of time. You can spend $80 on spl tiles and a layer of ensolite and get 3X the barrier AND lasting results that wont give off fumes when in the sun
-
well I put a little down in the hatch area basically just over the spare tire well, and it seems to have helped a bit already. I just sprayed the metal down with brake cleaner and wiped it up well and laid the stuff down. Vagitarian- I don't know what most of those products even are. I'm just looking for a cheap alternative, and I think the peel n seal will work for my needs. Not trying to turn my civic into a luxury ride, just something more bearable to drive

Da Vag is right.......RAAMat is the shit, the owner a little weird :)

Where do we get that shit then?

+1 I saw some sound deadening pads on Egay 10 sq. ft. for 20.00usd shipped but if there is cheaper I like to know. ;D

SPL tiles are $2 a piece from second skin audio, and theyve got 20% coupons all over the net. 25-40 of those and a layer of ensolite undetr the carpet and behind the door panels and youve got ALOT quieter of a ride
Any sound deadner that is butyl based will work perfect
I just wouldnt use peel n seal again, I tried it, since Im cheap, but it fails, stinks when its hot out, and the performance in "sound deadning" is no comparisn compared to a butyl based product

I have 1 van, and a friend who has competed at IASCA world finals for over 10 years now that say yes it will stick if applied properly.
Your fail does not translate to item fail.

Seeing as how I know you, and this other guy sucks bandwagon cock, your swearing by Peel and Seal is good enough for me.
-
If it's just being used for road noise, I'd do 1 layer on the roof, if I even touched it at all. The majority of the noise is coming from down low.
Doors and floor will make a good difference.2 layers.
If you have a van like mine, the roof is a necessity.
I just hate seeing some vag state shit that isn't true.
-
So there is no serious oder from the peel and stick pads right? :?:
-
There is an oder, but it goes away after a few days. It's a little worse then dynamat, but not terrible in my experience.
-
Mine hasn't gotten hot yet, but i've done roofing for a good few years. Its the same shit as water and ice shield except with an aluminum sheet attached. It smells when you first unroll it and its hot, but once its down you don't smell it anymore. Do you ever walk outside and smell roof? not until the earth is careening into the sun. So I think peel and seal should be alright. The stuff I found in the lowes near me actually wasn't called peal and seal btw, its just another brand. I'll post it when I check what it is again
-
cool I'm trying this as soon as I get my motor back in. ;D
-
If you have the dash out, a layer or two on the firewall would go a long ways towards cutting back on engine noise.
