alot of noise from debris in rear wheel wells area

doubleG370Z · 09-27-2010, 07:23 PM

I've noticed, when driving, alot of noise from gravel & dirt from the rear wheel well area. Has anyone undercoated this area to deaden debris noise?
I've read some have soundproofed the trunk area, but wonder if all that's needed is applying rubberized undercoating to do the trick??

any comments or pics?

I Dynamatted my trunk and nearly all of that noise is gone.

Dyna'ing the trunk sounds expensive and labour intensive and doesn't add any protection to the wheel well or undercarriage.

Is there no one whose has just sprayed some undercoating on to see if this works??

I think Minicobra sprayed that foam/rubber crap on the wheel wells and it helped. Just make sure the surface is 100% clean so it adheres.

That or you can get a very short pile carpet which can be applied with adhesive like many OEM inner fenders. This would save the time and trouble of masking and also will reduce the risk of overspray on the rest of the car.

a catback exhaust or stereo upgrade helps this problem become un-noticable
