Remember, if you install dynamat and nothing else, the road noise will only be reduce by a small degree.
Products like Dynamat Extreme, Hushamat, Damplifier PRo etc, are vibration dampers. They are designed to reduce structure borne noise.
Exhaust noise, engine noise, and road noise is comprised of structure borne noise and airborne noise. To reduce airborne noise, you need to use a barrier. If you are set on Dynamat product, go with their DynaLiner. this is a very solid performing barrier that will get applied on top of the dynamat extreme.

Remember, if you only use one product, you only attack one of the noise problems, and you ignor the other half of the equasion.
