Soundproofing
 

Anyone paid to have your Z sound proofed?
I had a quote from Car Toys in Dallas Ft. Worth
for $1,000
I'm not a mechanic afraid of doing myself.

my pass 350Z roadster had the underside sound proofing done and what a difference . At least another 70% reduction in no noise . It only cost $300. good luck.....

Are you talking about sound deadening? Do it yourself. Get a box of the deadener, a big sheet of closed cell foam and just go do it. It's not fun, but it's not worth paying someone else to do it.

what chuck said.
some things are just not worth paying someone else for, this is one of them. ESPECIALLY not for 1k lol

How do you soundproof the Z?

I don't know about soundproofing, but for sound deadening, dynamat is a good product.

Summit has their brand of Dynomat, peel & stick, can't be easier. The wheel wells & spare tire area would probably be a good place to start.

I'm thinking about doing this, starting in spare tire/truck area

REALLY BIG Earmuffs??

I've thought about getting a new car because too loud/road noise then I just slapped on noise cancelling headphones = no more annoying sounds :icon17:

You can either get active noise cancelling headphones or just plain headphones with good isolation. The Sony MDR-10RNC are really good for active noise cancellation, I have a pair and highly recommend them. You can't hear anything driving related while you're driving :tup:

Wearing headphones while driving is absolutely retarded and illegal in most states. Even if it's legal, it's still ******* retarded. You need to be able to hear what's going on around you.

why would you wear headphones? aside from being really dangerous you missing out on the sweet sounds of horsepower rumbling through your exhaust.
I use the bluetooth truckers headset which features noise cancellation. I sell & I'm on the phone a lot. works great

i'm special :icon17:

Maybe he meant Bulletproofing. At least $1000 seems about right......

I did the hatch area (the towers and back) of my Z and it made a big difference. Got the sound-damping material free from GTMat and my favorite body shop charged me ~$50 to R&R the interior panels.
