I have a 92 CX and back in the day I scraped out all the deadener (like it was doing all that much anyways. The car is currently completely gutted, but I am looking to restore the interior over the christmas break with new carpet, seats, dash etc...

Anyways, after college I may want to gut the car out again. Is there any sound deadening option that won't take me a whole weekend to remove once I lay it in, and if so, is it even effective.

 

ttt

i wanan find this out also

 

I need to talk to my buddy who is really into audio and mods the electronics forum at prelude online. I'll post up my findings.

 

There's really not much you can do. If you want you can get some matt apply it, then remove it later, but that's a big waste of money.

If you are installing a full interior, you can grab some carpet padding (what they use in home) and put that between the panels/carpet and the metal of the car. That will help quiet things down a bit, but with out the factory deadening, it's going to be loud no matter what you do.

I've never understood stripped interior cars that are driven anywhere but the track. To me, it's worth the extra 50lbs or so to keep from getting headaches.

 

What if I wanted to put the sound deadener back? There is nothing that can replace the factory sound deadener?

search for dynamat - tons of alternatives...

 

Dynamat and similar companies sell some sound deadening products indented for use behind panels and in head liners. It's usually some sort of closed cell foam. Typically, they don't get rid of as much cabin noise as the "normal" super-sticky asphalt based products, but can be applied with spray adhesive and later removed. You could also try the spray/paint on products, which might not look to shabby if you painted it to match the interion.

Alright. As long as I can put it back to a reasonable stock noise level

 

the way i gutted mine was i had a bag of ice, let it sit on the tar....and take a hammer to it....oh its god. if its cold outside...open your trunk, windows doors etc. go gently on the hammer...you dont want dents though.
