Dont flame me .. I just asked a audio expert .. An installer not a seller

Dynamatt doesnt do much .. It reduces slight vibration but cheaper options also work well .. In his opinion he said its not worth it .. Oh this was in the boot .. in the doors hes all for it .. but still says its better just to do the surrounds to reduce weight ..

Out of interest, what were the cheaper options he mentioned?

well one was expanding foam (rookie told me that one and no way I would do it ..)

He explained padding foam would work if its hard packed and making sure everything is tight... He told me cheaper version will do just as good but we had the system running (boot closed) I grabbed the spoiler to shut the thing up and he said thats what dynamat will do.. It was a noticable difference but not $100-200 worth of it .. even tho the system it worth 50 times that much he still didnt feel you would hear the effects in the cabin ..

Dynamat is not made to reduce rattles, unless you use the one thats specifically designed to reduce rattles.

I would tell your installer mate to go back to school and have a few more lessons in dynamat and reduction of road noise.

Also EXPANDER FOAM do you even begin to understand the catastrophis results EXPANDER FOAM will have on your panels when it starts expanding? Its been known to warp the cars panels.

Im just preachin his word... Obviously he'd know something.. hes been in the business for 10 yrs so I dont know..

Everyones got a opinion so i guess thats his .. not that I dont believe u either but id like to hear before I buy..

One more thing I doubt hes studied it hes just used it and felt it was worth less..

Well i use it and have demonstrated the differences time and time again. So i dont mean to sound arrogant but perhaps he was using it to STOP RATTLES not to REDUCE ROAD NOISE.

Dynamat is proven all over the world as being worth its weight in gold, and is being used by every single high end installation expert and SQ nut.

Lets agree to disagree, but when applied correctly and utilised properly Dynamat does a LOT.

How much would it cost to do a DECENT sound deadening job (diy of course)?

I knwo that everyone's decent has a different meaning, but lets just say such that the car becomes significantly quieter so that you can actually hear it. Not like a 1db drop that can only be detected using a db metre.

Would that just be doing both doors?

possibly parts of the boot/rear quarters?

underneath the rear seat?

rear seat sides?

floor?

roof?

behind dash?

$300ish for dynamat bulk pack, dynaxorb and a bottle of prepsol.

the rest is elbow grease.

a bulk pack should do both doors and leave you enough to get stuck into the boot and some under the rear seats if you haven't had enough fun yet.

alternatively, phone a friend and you could probably do the doors on two cars (with more dynaxorb for the other car) and see how it sounds.

if you want to go further at a later date then save up and buy another pack of dynamat and a few beers.

or work it on this: 88/hr average 3-4 hours to do a car and a box of dmat.

Just to respond I dont disagree with u .. from the info i got it was exactly as you say worth its weight in gold. But hey I might give that gear a go neways with a 40kg enclosure in the boot aint like 10kg is gonna hurt my ride any more ..

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline 路 Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz 路 Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
