Dynamat?
 

Hey guys,

This winter I want to put in some Dynamat to the trunk because i get some rattles that are going to drive me crazy! I see there are a few different types to get, any suggestions or will they all work the same?

i have used extreme dynamat and rattle trap extreme. they both work well. but rattle trap extreme is thicker and better priced!

I prefer the regular extreme. Did my 350z hatch area and cut down on noise considerably.

I used 37.5 sq ft of RAAMmat BXT II, it only cost about 100$ shipped and it was enough to cover beneath all carpets and also full hatch area. I was quite liberal with it and went over certain areas twice, or else I probably would have had enough to do the doors also. It was a noticeable difference once installed!

Hmmnnn, thanks for the info. Im surprised nobody mentioned the Dynamat Superlite stuff. I was leaning towards that...

there's a thread where i posted which dynamat i used. i cant remember but i bought 2 boxes which were for the doors (amazon) and worked out great for the trunk.

btw, dont go cheap on the roller tool.

Really? The roller tool is a necessity?? i figured it would just stick easily just by placing it down... Ive never had an experience with Dynamat or the like before..

DEFINETLY get the roller tool. the ones with the hard rubber roller and metal/wooden handle is the one i use. dynamat is pretty thick stuff and if you have air bubbles the dampening performance drops considerably.

This is what I used.

ok good stuff. thanks for all the info guys.

^^ that's the exact roller i gotz. :tup:

wanna send it my way? lol

There's a product sold at Home Depot and Lowes thats the exact same thing, but a lot cheaper. It's called Peel n Seal. I used it on a build, and it worked well.

Oh and use a heat gun to make it easier to work with if you plan on installing it while it's cold. Even in the summer it can help.

Stick with Dynamat Exterme or Rammat they don't smell like some of the construction material products.

Check out the "Cabin Noise" thread in "General Discussions" section. Tons of info in that thread.

A bit late, but I used FatMat in my Old GST and it helped. Even though the material isn't as thick as DynaMat, it made a big difderence. Got 100sq ft for about 120 shipped.it's a cheaper option and you would have more material to work with.

+1 for the heat gun too.

I am also considering Dynamating my hatch, but i have read some threads saying it won't help much if you only do the trunk. What are people's thoughts on the effectiveness of just doing the hatch? I would like to not hear all the pebbles and stuff that hit my wheel wells. Also, how much weight does it add and how thick is it? (ie.how much height clearance would I lose) I regularly carry a pelican case for work that doesn't leave much height clearance so that is a minor concern. The mat's not like an inch thick is it?

It's nowhere near an inch thick. It's just heavy. The link below shows the technical details from Dynamat's website.

Dynamat Xtreme

I was quoted $150 for the Dynamat and $140 for labor. Is that a good price? Some threads make the process seem long and time consuming.

it took me a good 3hrs to do the trunk and part of the quarters. im sure a pro can do it in about 2hrs. considering $70/hr, that seems to be a decent rate.
