I have used a few different types over the years, this is not something you want to cheap out on in your car, a lot, of the cheaper mats are asphalt based, STAY AWAY from them, in the summer they smell! The best one I've used is Hush Mat, price is not cheap, but with mat, you get what you pay for. Very easy to install, other then my Z I use Hush Mat only. I was working for Streetwires at the time, so I had to use it, however it too was nice product to work with, but again, not cheap. |

This is definately an easy DIY. Most of the cost is labor so just take an afternoon and do it yourself.
I got Buzzmat from my stereo installer and put it in myself. Then to top it off I stuffed some Roxul Safe'n'Sound into the voids behind the plastic trim. It made a huge difference. I only did the trunk and it good enough for me. If you do the work yourself it is easy enough to do it in steps till you decide what it is good enough. Don't however expect to get Lexus or Mercedes level of silence in your car it ain't going to happen. My logic on the mat is acts as a deadner(dampner) to reduce the vibrations coming thru the skin of the car and the Roxul acts as a sound absorber. Anyways all I really know is that when I run through a puddle it dosen't sound like the water off the tires is coming right into the cabin now. I would guess that whether you use Dynamat, Buzzmat, Boom-mat or whetever I doubt you could tell the diffference. they are all more or less the same a tar like substance on a foil backing.

I could probably still get you a decent price on a few sq ft for the doors if you want it. I'll be dropping by their office at the end of December.

My Nismo rear hatch is all covered with dynamat from previous owner. So much quieter than my yellow touring Z. I guess it does work.

In my years in car audio, $ for $, better off spending on amplification rather than on damping material.

But sometimes you want to just talk to your passenger, not just rock out, lol
