Murphy Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hey Roger, known several who had used the Dynamat product, its a bit stiff and is easy to get cut up fingers, I used the Eastwood product, half the price with good sound deadening and heat resistance.

Leghome Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 PBE Jobbers also has a product like Dynamat but much cheaper Nitto 108E. It is a rubber product versus the petroleum product. Pretty pliable, I have two boxes of it but have not got around to installing it yet. Here is a link to the product page http://www.pbejobbers.com/product-sound-deadening-pad-12x12-walum-side-6pk_74301.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I went with the cool mat stuff. I was reading reviews on each product and most of them had complaints at one time or another the rubber part would run and create a gooey mess when mounted inside doors and other vertical surfaces. I opted for a different product inside my doors, behind my back seat, and under my rear armrest areas just to be on the safe side. My car is still a work in progress so it remains to be seen how good the stuff I installed works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 We did Dynamat dynaliner in our 70 El Camino its a foam roll which comes in different thickness. On the El Camino we user 3/4" on the floor two rolls running from the firewall to the rear of the cab. Then on the roof we used 1/4" one roll to block the sound and heat. The Dynaliner wasn't bad to put in but it does raise the seats up and the surface needs to be clean so it sticks. On the 72 Monte I got a 2 gallon pale of Lizard Skin sound and a 2 gallon pale of heat control to spray on the inside once the floor board and firewall is finish.

rsorg Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks for the info ,my stock big block with factory exhaust manifolds and dual exhaust gives off alot of heat from the floor boards \ firewall area . I plan on making this a winter project , just not sure what product to go with just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I used the Dynamat product. I liked it. Are there better and cheaper products out there? Probably. Do your research and pick which best suits your needs. But also let us know what you went with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvizu9618 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I used a product called Duct Insulation from Frost King. About $20 a 15 sq foot roll at Home Depot. I used a couple of rolls in the car, Along the doors, back qtrs, under rear seat and along the tranny tunnel. I got new carpet with Mass backing so i didn't see the need to do the whole floor board. the stuff is on only 1/8" thick, door panels went back on great. Its more of a closed cell foam base so no pesky tar fumes whatsoever. Happy so far Art Dynamat vs. FrostKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended that stuff over the more expensive stuff. I really like that guy and that show. Of course I saw that after I did mine with more expensive coolmat stuff....

Leghome Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I used a product similar to Dynamat and id not wear gloves and got several cuts on my hands and fingers. That aluminum topping can sure cut a nice slice in a finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
