what are ways to reduce noise

and have a buddy club pro specs ant its really loud around 3000 rpm's and up so basically all the time on the highway
and i need to take my car for a long road trip and i plan on putting my seats back in but i cant change out exhausts so what are ways i can reduce even more noise
i just don't want to have a headache when i get to my final destination
im leaving in 2 weeks so i have sometime
and i just want to reduce noise inside my car
oh and im going to put back in my exhaust silencer but it really doesnt help at all

Dunno. Just some 6x9's that make noise. OEM's would be your best bet, because they're plug and play.

the dynamat idea is a good one... if you want to do something quicker and cheaper, you can get spray on sound deadener (though it is obviously less temporary and a much more permanent modification)...
just remember that sound deadening material tends to add a fair bit of weight as it needs to be dense...
another thing you could try (just a suggestion) get some sound barrier ceiling tiles and line your trunk then throw your trunk liner and board on top... theoretically it should work as that is an enclosed area.... just a thought....

Dynamat...you can find it online or at your local car stereo install place. Me and a buddy of mine did the whole floor of his civic from peddals to rear trunk seal and the car only gained 22lbs but was quiet as hell

I wouldn't mind 22 lbs for dramatically less road noise.

Neither would I, but it was spendy i dont remember how much but the stuff isnt cheap. Hell if you take out your spare tire and lets say the change between your seats and you have 22 lbs

Re: (B16b-EJ8)
I think $70 is about the going price for enough to cover the inside of a car if you look in the right places.
Suspendedhatch has some links to knockoff dynamat that does the same thing.
255sq/ft rolls for <$100.
Enough to do several cars.

go to a home center/hardware store and get roofing tar mat crap
its the same as dynamat but seriously much cheaper (maybe a a bit less effective but who cares)
It comes self-adhisive and not...so read before you buy.
I used that, one layer, on my rear wheel wells and parts of my 1/4 panels and it made a very noticable difference.
Everyone says "smells like tar" and it does...for a day or so. Leave the windows down for awhile and no problem

Ive really only ever seen it at one home depot...and that was pretty far north (like north of the 45th parallel (alpena, Mi))
Came on a 6" wide roll that was...I dont remember how long (50' maybe)

Re: (pdiggitydogg)
I know the stuff you're talking about, I used to use it for roof mounts in direcTv installations. I always used the tacky kind as it was what was issued to us.

Re: what are ways to reduce noise (mike1114)
You could try expanding foam but that would be one hell of a mess if you had to get to something for service

I've used it in trunklids without issue. It's also a minimal expansion foam, so you don't have to worry about buckling panels that you get too much foam in.
