Help sound proofing my car!

[dat_160j_77]

Hey guys,

 

I'm a n00b and I'm doing a little bodywork on my car, my seats are removed with the floor mats and every thing, What is the best way to sound proof my car?

 

I like to hear the engine sound, but its my everyday car, so could you please help me?

 

 

and FYI my car is:

Model: 710 (160J) 4 doors

Engine: L16

Production Year: 1977

 

 

Thanks

I've seen a lot the guys use the fat mat from ebay, from what I've seen/heard it works pretty good

I've always used Dynamat. Easy and works wonders on steel body cars :)

Thanks guys.

 

Just a question, would it help if I put more than one layer?

[RATDAT3]

One layer is sufficient---Dynamat is exspensive, but works great. If you have excessive noise, there miight be a reason why, check your rubber mat against the firewall.

fat mat, dynamat, umm the tar roofing stuff (some old schoolers use it, theres also an aluminum ruber membrane at lowes thats for roofing and around windows, comes in like 12" by 33' for like 14 bucks

Another person (not on Ratsun) recently redid a 510 with Lizard Skin Ceramic heat and sound insulation. He said

 

The layers of Lizard Skin are only .040 thick and protect the interior from heat up 500 degrees. It's also paintable and can be color coated as well as being a moisture barrier, unlike the crappy Dynamat that is way expensive and holds water.

 

Seems like pretty good stuff.
