i have a 97 civic ek
i took out the rear seats
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
any suggestions

 

get a flowmaster hushpower. makes my car as quite as stock, when im not punching it.

 

Put your back seats back in, get rear speakers, and get a cargo cover.

 

whats a lowmaster hushpower
any rear speakers you suggest buying?

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

Dynamat, line your trunk/spare wheel well with it. It helped a lot when I got tired of my fart can.

 

thanks guys for your help
any other ideas

 

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

 

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 &lt;$100.

Enough to do several cars.

 

hmm...to be honest i havent looked at it in a while not since i quit the car stereo thing

 

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

 

^Agreed

Rubberized undercoating in the wheel wells makes a big difference too.

 

thanks pdiggity, I might have to browse my local home depot and start making my car quiet.

 

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)

 

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.

 

Earplugs?

 

hahah thats a last resort

any of you guys know where i can find what screws and bolts i need to put back in my seats into my ek
i was retarded and left them in a box thinking my mom wouldn't touch them i think she ether a moved the box and forgot or most likely b through it out
so i need to buy some more where can i find like a diagram to putting back in my seats or do you guys know the exact bolts i need?

 

Rhino line the inside and outside of the car.

That will reduce noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You could try expanding foam but that would be one hell of a mess if you had to get to something for service

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Its designed for interior and exterior applications, with a service range of 0 degrees to 150 degrees F. and an application range of 45 degrees to 105 degrees F. It can be cleaned up with soap and water and is tack-free in 10 minutes. The latex foam sticks to wood, concrete, brick, vinyl, steel and aluminum.</TD></TR></TABLE>

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.
