For the cost I would look into Edead by Elemental Designs. Great price and great great product. They actually make the thickest sound dampening on the market. The UE sound deadener is twice as thick as dynamat extreme.

you may wanna check out The Sound Deadener Showdown before you commit to any one sound deadener. keep in mind, the tests done there are not "scientific" by any means, but it still has lots of valuable information.

should at least give you the information to let you choose a product that will work for you (both quality & performance-wise), as well as informing you of any problems with specific products.

Just F.Y.I.,

I read the Sound Deadener Showdown last time I saw it posted. It is very helpful and informative, but it is a couple years old. The reason I bring that up is it lists eDead as a rubberized asphalt, which made me not want to get it. I emailed Elemental Designs asking them if it was true and they said that V1SE has been a butyl product for about two years and V1 has been butyl for about a 18 months.

If you want to cut down on road/engine/transmission/exhaust noise, I think you should also get (on top of V1/V1SE/V3/UE from eDesigns) the eDead V4 Teklite. The closed cell foam blocks noise while the butyl mat cuts down on noise from vibrations.

I almost ordered RAAMmat too. It's not a bad thing that you're getting it. It is the same thickness as V1SE and only slightly more expensive as long as you get two or more rolls. RAAM also charges less for shipping, so in the end you're getting about the same thing.

I can tell you that the sound destroyer xtreme is not aluminum backed, its like a silver colored mylar so it doesn't hold it's shape as well as stuff with actual aluminum. Also the adhesive leaves a smell for a couple weeks. It got rid of the rattles really well and it is kinda cheap but I don't think I would confidently recomend it to anyone. And that roller they give you is a piece of **** mine broke on the second piece of mat I laid down. I used the 80 mil ****.
