Sound Deadening Options

Im looking into sound deadening and keep reading that the liquid form does better than the mat does. Is this true and which company would you all recommend?

Second Skin
Quietcoat
Cascade

Thanks for any input.

I've heard eDead is pretty good, but haven't tried it.

id go with second skin for a couple reasons 1 im a dealer 2 its one of the best if not the best and 3 its very affordable 4 anthony (the owner) is an awsome guy and you can talk to him for like a half an hour if you need too try doing that with the owner of dynamat

lizard skin is expensive, im working on a street rod for a guy and he had to have that and he paid like 600 for 4 gallons

But yeah, it's hard to beat Second Skin in any area.

I was hoping you would say that due to its pricing haha. I was thinking of getting a 5 gallon bucket to do my 2002 GTI with. Should I get the liquid or the sludge though? Sludge seems like it would be easier and only take one coat.

they are both the smae execpt the sludge is thicker so you cant spray it. i like using both mat and liquid but you can do it with just one thing.

The liquid isn't that bad to apply, it's thick enough that it doesn't run all over the place. The Spectrum Firewall is the best overall, IMO. I have a friend that used it in a 65 Mustang w/o AC and the temperature lowered dramatically, car was tons quieter too. Sludge is kind of messy, actually, you just glop it on and if you want it to look good, you're going to have to smooth it out with a trowel or something similar. IMO if you know how to spray paint, the Spectrum or Firewall would be the easier app, but it takes more coats.
