Kinda.. More/less me installing one piece, showing a bit of the work and me rambling about random ****.

Getting used to the GoPro and I guess it needs a lot of light. The garage light sucks and I was using the drop light.


This **** takes a lot of time to install. I figured it take about 15 min a sq/ft to install.

Opinions?? Ok video, IMO. Nothing stellar.

sweet how much did this run you?

^ I think it's $100 for a 50 sq/ft roll not counting the rollers. The car takes about 80 sq/ft total.

I'd go underneath the car also in that rear section and apply some CAE Quiet Kote (18oz spray can) . I used some on my sons car first and found it works surprisingly good at cutting down on sound transfer into the interior of the car.
I've got 2 cans($12 a can) on order now to use on my Camaro.

^ was looking at the Great Stuff spray foam and I think it's closed cell. Was just gonna fill the rear two wells in with it and cut it flush. I don't have anything to go in there, but I would have to find a way for the cabin vent to breathe.

How heavy is that stuff?

iTrader: (14)

^ Shipping weight is 23lbs for a 50 sq/ft roll. So maybe 40lbs for the whole car..

Honestly guys; How was the video? I'm not one to put my face on the net, and I'm kinda shy. I know I gotta learn the camera better and light it better.. I'll do more random videos and see how they go.

Filled the sides in with foam.. Well, a fraction of the way to allow for expansion. Didn't put much in the driver's side because I'm trying to leave the cabin vent open. Even filled in the top where the quarter meets the trunk area. It's a "bullet" area next to the deck lid that's just an open void. No point to leave it open.

I looked at a cross section of the foam under a magnifying glass and it 'appears' to be closed cell so this SHOULD work as sound absorbent material. ........... And I don't have a use for those wells in the back.

Nice job on the video! Everything is looking great. There is no way in hell that I could be patient enough to do something like that haha.

^ Thanks. I'll tray and grab another one when i do the interior floor... With better lighting.

I just didn't want the video to be boring.


Annnnnnnnd I'm out... Gotta order another roll. 50 sq ft just for the trunk! It's so nice having a full roll instead of messing with these little **** strips. Hoping the floor of the cabin goes quicker. The back took a WHILE. ~9 hrs.

NICE WORK! keep us updated. i want to do this to my ws6 also. i will help keep the weight about the same by taking off the carpet backing insulation and cutting the areas of carpet that are hidden behind the plastic panels maybe?

Great vid Bayer!

After seeing you for so long with your Keith Stone avatar, I just assumed...

Good job though man. Keep us updated, looks like a pita.

Why would you remove the carpet backer? Its there for sound and temperature insulation. It would be a waste of time and effort to add this stuff then. This dampener performs a slightly different function than the carpet backer. They work together to shield out noise and vibration. If you remove one to install the other, you aren't going to really see the benefit of your time/effort/money. Also, the areas behind the plastic can benefit from this insulation as well (often its more necessary there since the vibration can transmit to the plastic and sound worse). Which plastic are you referring to (since pretty much what isn't covered in carpet is covered in plastic or is glass)?

bayer-z28

^ True.. But I stripped this car back in 06 on a weight reduction binge. Got it to 3400lbs with the box in the back, amps, 1/2 tank and HEAVY chrome wheels and full cloth interior. Got tired of the noise so I'm fixing it now.

VIP1

bayer-z28, you're putting sound deadening back in. That makes sense.

badfbodyz is talking about removing the stock carpet backer sound insulation and using rattle trap instead. That doesn't make sense.

bayer-z28

iTrader: (14)

^ Yeah I caught that, but I prolly worded my response wrong.

Doing a vibration dampener like Rattle trap, Dynamat or whatever else only serves to eliminate vibration.. Although it may have some sound deadening qualities, it is not meat to absorb road noise. Logical progression is do do a vibration dampener first, THEN do a sound absorbent material such as SSA Luxury Liner or some kind of foam sound barrier. Not eliminating the stock sound barriers and installing a vibration dampener.

VIP1

Exactly. Which I why I entered by response above to badfbodyz.

i like your fuel pump access

^ Yeah, I welded some pieces onto it to get it to bolt back on, but they're not quite wide enough. STILL have yet to stick that back on.. Have regulator fabing to do yet.
