I ordered eDead V1SE from elemental designs. You'll have to google since they're non-sponsor. Looks like they're half off coupon code doesn't work anymore. But I do have an email from them for 20% off eDead. eDeadBA is the coupon code

I bought 62.5sq ft of RaaMAT and will be installing it hopefully within the next 2 weeks, doors and hatch area, probably won't do the whole car since I'll just be running front CDT components and a 10" subwoofer. I will give an update of my results.
www.sounddeadenershowdown.com has a nice comparison between the deadeners

sounddeadenershowdown is a good comparison website but its VERY outdated. The eDead comparison was used with their older design, their new design is completely different.

I took the car for a drive this evening and discovered how much quieter the car is at highway speeds. At 3k RPMs on the highway with the cut-out closed, I really think the car is quieter than it was stock. The car just seems much much nicer and the interior doesn't appear so cheap as they are. Very very solid

I just removed my entire interior to route new audio wires and was thinking "I might as well sound deaden the entire car". Looks like I need to buy another roll of RaaMat.

How many sq ft did it take you to do the entire car? Did you use all 120sq ft.
Any install tips?

Thanks

Thanks for the info. They have some B stock for sale right now so I'm going to see if I can get a roll of that ($99). I'll probably at least get one more roll to get me 125sq ft, that should be enough. Maybe even a few more yards of ensolite.

120 sqft was enough to cover the whole car and double the drive shaft tunnel.

well its 1am... just finished doing the rear of the car, i used some cheap off brand sound deadener from summit. i only pulled the car out of the garage so i really couldnt tell you if it worked or not, it just sounds more clean inside the car, as far as engine noise. more white **** is suppose to fall tonight and tomorrow so i dont know if i will be able to give you guys any results for awhile, but i have some install pics i will post tomorrow as well as pics of my VFN hood im picking up. i ran out of deadener so i think im going to run down to homedepot tomorrow and pick up some ice king duct insulation for the doors... i hear it works as good as any stick on sound deadener, i used a little of that in my truck as well and it seemed to work pretty good.

hopefully I can get mine done before the end of the holiday. The entire interior is out of the car right now except for the dash. I'll be waiting at least a week for the rest of the deadener to come so in the meantime I will install my Viper 5900 w/ remote start and my 530t automatic window control module. Hopefully it is not too much of a pain, I've read brent franker's install guide 100 times.
