latest sound deadening pics... finished all of the sound deadening except for the doors, and i still need to install a lot of interior peices but i was so beat by the time i got done i figure ill finish everything another day. also got my snow dubs dropped off today by a local cop who no longer drives his T/A in the snow, so this thing might actually move now.hehe, only thing that still sucks for the snow is the posi unit is toast, only works sometimes, which isnt great for the snow but w/e it'll be fine till i have $$$ to replace it.hehe. ive already noticed a HUGE difference in the exhaust tone, which is saying something considering my setup. anyways heres all the pics i snapped today.

its eDeadv2se. FAR from duct tape. its 65 mils thick. excellent product. i need to do the doors still and then when i get the time before my system goes back in im gonna use any leftover(i had 150 feet,hehe) and im gonna do a 2nd layer over the big parts in the trunk to hopefully stop any other small noises. also i might do the inside of the actuall plastic interior panels, like the console, sail panels and the stupid removal ones in the back that rattle all day long.

Ok, supid question now. Has anybody taken a decible meter and measured BEFORE and AFTER this mod?? How much noise are we really talkin' about here to go through all this trouble?

my long tubes, ORY and loudmouth are quieted down a decent amount. i plan on doing a 2nd layer in the hatch and back there where most of the exhaust sound comes in. also, right now the car is still mostly stripped so when i sound deaden the backsides of the interior panels and the console, etc. it should really make an even bigger difference.

Also consider that older vehicles vs late models are totally different. Back in the 60-70's most cars weren't even insulated that well (except luxury vehicles), so the actual improvement would be slightly higher IMO. Newer models are improving each year on internal sound deadening.
Obviously, each vehicle will yield different results.

you will prolly need about 80 feet or so. honestly.... i would do everything Dan. the floor makes SUCH a difference and as far as just in general, the doors are the number one thing you should do. i started thinking where i didnt need it in what places, but then i thought about it and said, if im gonna start deciding what will help and what wont.... its not worth it, so i just did everything and now i have no worries and to be honest..... without any of the intertior panels in the car right now, its quieter than before. i have the carpet back in place and my drivers seat, to get to work and school and the car is actually quieter right now with the sound deadening than it was before with all the interior together and no sound deadening. i cant wait to get everything in and make it solid as a rock.
