  1. Time to lower the road noise / NVH sound level - my DIY sound deadening material install project

    I plan on doing this shortly to get some actual readings, but this was definitely worth the squeeze! Rode in the back seat yesterday while the wife and inlaw were in the front, i had no issue hearing their conversation on the freeway. I was actually surprised that it wasnt loud , especially...

    Last update... added some weatherstripping on the hardtop, it knocked out the wind noise coming from the b pillar. Adding rhe roof rack brought a lot of noise back lol

    Last door is done, now to find a 2 door hardtop in the Houston area to compare. Did it make a difference... yes Was it worth the $300 investment... oh yeah!

  5. Time to lower the road noise / NVH sound level - my DIY sound deadening material install project

    After yard work, i was able to knock out one door, I'm still amazed at the complete lack of sound insulation. Luckily for a few bucks that's easily remedied. One more door to go, then I'll take some sound readings and ask some local 2 door members if i can ride in theirs and take a baseline...

    Roberts 70-190A 70-190 Super Felt... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049VIQCK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share is what i used. I've used it for years as have friends of mine, it's inexpensive and works pretty good. On some applications like the rear bulkhead of my raptor i have mulitple layers of it. Only...

    Plenty of room inside the drivers side wheel well, a little less on the passenger due to the factory sub
  8. Time to lower the road noise / NVH sound level - my DIY sound deadening material install project

    What i did definitely helps, are there better products out there... oh yeah!! But at a substantially higher cost. Mas dampend vinyl can also be used, but it adds about 1b per sq ft used and it's a pain to work with.
  9. Time to lower the road noise / NVH sound level - my DIY sound deadening material install project

    The killmat keeps the metal from flexing, or sounding like a tin can. The foam helps block some of the sound, and insulates the cabin and decouples the panels from the metal making helping with sound transferring. The felt i added in some spots helps absorb sound as well. I bad as this car is...

    i have taken apart most of the interiors of the cars i own , and it's fairly strait forward, i did see a couple of you tube videos from a couple called 1Five1 Garage, they break theirs down in various videos, and it's a great reference!
  11. Time to lower the road noise / NVH sound level - my DIY sound deadening material install project

    thanks! i honestly have no idea, but labor wise i prob have ?? 15 hours into it, counting all my breaks and installing 4 out of the 6 speakers. It's not complicated, just takes some time.
  12. Time to lower the road noise / NVH sound level - my DIY sound deadening material install project

    nope, but i guess we have gotten used to not having to talk over the excessive wind/road noise in our other cars( 85 Bronco, 2014/2022 Raptor. 68 Mustang) on long road trips it gets annoying to us. AS for the free time.... i make time for what's important to me.

    i guess it depends on your level of skill, but yes it looks fairly straightforward. Not being a unibody helps

    51 sqr ft of silex is 3.8 lbs, 50 sqr ft of 80 mil killmat is 23 lbs, so about 30lbs total when i am done.
  15. Time to lower the road noise / NVH sound level - my DIY sound deadening material install project

    i used killmat and then the Siless over that, they serve two different purposes and work best when used together. Dynamat is a great name brand product and killmat is the more "generic" version that's been around for a long time with very similar specs to the name brand. without doing the doors...
