Looking for some inputs heat and sound deadening material. What materials have other folks been using. Any comment regarding "Quiet Ride" insulation kits?

I put in a bunch of that aluminum bubble wrap heat sheild stuff in my 73 behind the interior panels and under the carpet when I did my wiring. It was cheap. I got a big roll of it from Lowes for 20 bucks. More than enough to do my big girl.

I like um big...BIG!!!

Another vote for dynomat. Its expensive, but its easy to work with, and mine didnt smell at all. Some of the cheaper stuff tends to stink up the car for a while.

Sound deadener web link

Check out this web site:

http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/

It has a ton of good information about insulation and sound deadeners.

Good luck.

If you look at some of the car audio forums, there's a lot of support for Damplifier and Damplifier pro. If you don't want that, the consensus is that butyl mats are much better and less smelly than their asphalt counterparts. I can't personally attest to their claims, though.

Damplifier pro is what I will be using. It is cheaper and better IMHO they also sell some led shielding if you need that extra quiet. I know it adds on alot of weight but what is better than driving a 700HP street car on turn downs and being able to talk on the cell phone or listen to the radio while going down the road?

Interesting. I went to the damplifier website and they have some of the goop type sound deadener. I wonder how this stuff compairs to POR15. The blurb on the website says that it is also great to prevent rust and usable as an under carrage coating. Considering its 1/2 the price of POR15 for 5 gallons I wonder if it is almost the same stuff sold to a different market or maybe achives almost the same effect ?
