looking for something to quiet the inside of my car, muffler is to freaking loud!! the whole interior is gutted and i want to do the whole floor, doors, ect. dyno mat is waaaay to expensive, what do you guys recomend? i want to be able to rev the **** out of it and not hear a thing, or close to it

 

you can start by putting interior back in

 

ahahahahaha
yeah well it is out BECAUSE i am putting some sort of sound absorber in
thanks though

 

There's a writeup on how to sound deaden your doors. Try that stuff. It's by Civic_Rice I think.

EDIT: Here it is. I suggest this

Also, a loud exhaust is never going to be able to be drowned out. Simple as that.

 

Get a new muffler if you're dead set on stripping the car.

 

try putting your silencer back in your muffler

 

you live in MN and you drive your car in the winter. Shame on you!

 

all interior is going back in it is just stripped to put the material in

 

wut kind of exhaust set up are you running?

 

2.5" exhuast

anybody use fatmat?

Taken direct from civic_rice's thread...less than 1/2 of his post down.

There are plenty of options available.
I chose to use "BlueSkins" (cost cutting)
Others choose to use roofing tar material (cost cutting)
FatMat can be had for on Ebay for around $100USD
then there's BrownBread, DynaMat, etc.. (expensive name-brand)</TD></TR></TABLE>

He even tells you how to apply it all.

 

yeah i read it, that is why i was wondering if anyone has used it, dont want to buy something that sucks,
and yes cat, resonator, muffler

 

All of that stuff is pretty much the same. Only real difference is pricing IMHO.

 

thanks man

 

One thing about dynomat/fatmat/etc is that it helps eliminate road noise, but won't do to much for muffling your exhaust. The best way to muffle your exhaust is with a muffler However, if your muffler has to be loud for whatever reason and you want the inside of your car to be quiet, then you'll need to use an insulating material like fiberous insulation or spray insulation (like Great Stuff). Thats what I noticed helps anyway when I was driving around openheader.

on the inside? will the carpet fit back on top?

 

put bolts back in holes such as for holding your seats down, etc and go get a paint can of that truck bed liner stuff and start laying it on.

it'll give you a nice thick rubberized layer of sound deadening the same as dynomat in a can will and it's a lot cheaper. Put it on the floor, inside the door panels and door skin, etc.

also think about replacing all your weatherstripping with new stripping and taking out the dash and sound deadening the firewall...

it still helps though, i had to use this stuff on my GF's car becasue she bought the car with a generic aftermarket muffler

 

maybe i will try using the stuff civic rice and put down 2 or 3 layers and see what happens

 

i think an apexi WS would take care of that but yeah dynomat is too expensive to do what you want

Nah, the carpet won't go back on top, Im just talking about filling the quarter panels

 

silencer or go to meijer and buy some spray in sound deadener, i used a shitload on my crx with extra dynamat and was 10x better

 

es oval.

 

To get really geeky...

I have a blaupunkt system waiting to go into my car. It comes with a sound canceling mic. It records and cancels out any outside noise. It won't completely get rid of exhaust noise but it will cancel it and road noise to some degree. (curious what it will do when I try to talk to someone)

I also put some sound deadening material inside the rear fenders. That seemed to help alot. I keep 2 blankets in the trunk. They come in handy and also help to muffle noise a bit.
