ive check the archives and found a great thread on how to remove it. now my question is... im getting my car painted inside and out, do you guys think its better to take out the material? and will there be alot of noise?

 

I took mine out, all i did was hit it w/ a rubber mallot...my car is old enough that the tar is very brittle, if its not brittle enough, try getting it very cold then a chizel and a rubber mallot.......
hope that helps
and its not that much noisier.

 

if ur gettin it painted then yea...ive taken out my trunk sound deadening meterial and its not bad at all..i like it...i took a flathead screwdriver and a hammer..came out in about 10-15 mins

 

thanks guys! i just got done stripping mey 99 gsr. guess its time to get the dry ice out.

 

You can make things real easy by buying some dry ice, and then spreading it around over the sound deadening material. Naturally it won't get all of it, but it will get the vast majority of it.

 

dont forget the heat gun..

 

dry ice? what for?

 

lay dry ice on the sound deading material, it hardens up, the just hammer away and breaks off in chunks.

Exactly. And it saves you from having to chisel it all out.

 

I have done that, i had to use a screwdriver and a hammer. The inside is very noisy, i cant even talk to anyone when im going down the road.

 

why do you want to remove it?

 

Funny how he wants to remove sound deadening material and I wanted to add some since Tegs are so ******* loud.

Weight. All of the sound deadening material is good for well over 20 lbs.

 

If you're going to paint the interior of the car, i would personally get rid of the sound deadening tar. Here's my How-To: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=525936

Damn man, 20 hours? That looks sick after you get all that tar off but I'd go crazy after hour 2.

 

im in the process od doing this to dc2 and let me tell you, its very time consuming! just to let you know dry ice is pretty damn expensive. 1.49 at lb at QFC. thanks vx.

 

I removed mine and when driving i cant hear the person next to me!

 

is it that bad???

??????????????????????????????

To give people an idea how much louder it is, the Type R's do not have any sound deadening in them, and they are not that much louder.

 

thanks for clearing that up. the reason why i took it out was not to save wieght, its cause im painting my car inside and out.

 

is it really worth it for 20 lbs? Just take a big **** before you go to the track.

Yah, but a batch of Ex-Lax and removing the tar will save 40 lbs

 

for some reason paint doesnt seem to cover the tar very well . looks real ugly when its painted over . i removed mine jus to make the inside look cleaner .

Well it is loud when there are no seats/carpet also

 

I was gonna do this but it takes too much time for the amount of weight it reduces and noise that it makes more apparent.
