I'm not arguing about it. I'm just offering the pros and cons to consider.
ice shield works.. it's just not as thick,doesn't always adhere as well, and tends to stink a little.. but it is a lot cheaper :) the smell goes away eventually.. if it doesn't come unstuck, you're fine, or you just glue it back on, and you can layer it.
The thicker or more dense the material is, the more mass it adds to the metal so the better it'll generally work.

fwiw

The asphault stuff just stinks up the car for a few weeks.
The quality of the adhesive makes a big diffeence as well if you're using it in exposed areas like trunk lids.
Look at other brands than Dynamat, like SecondSkin, eDead, Brownbread, Hushmat, RAAMat, etc.
Cheaper, but still thicker and better than peel and seal.

listen to the man...

[quote="MobileAudio219"]Sure there is, heat ratings, glue strengths and more... That's like saying that there isnt a difference in tires, they're all rubber and they all roll, right? ]

Well if you can tell the difference between dynamat and peel n' seel...then your ears are much better than mine

Plus when you have the carpet and seats out you can power wash them and let them sit in the sun for a day while you're laying down the mat... So not own does your car SOUND better, but it LOOKS and SMELLS better too!

That's what I'm going to do here pretty shortly... I'll probably use second skin or that cascade or whatever its called (kiki uses it I think?)
