I need some help with sound deadening materials. Are there any ‘real’, cheaper alternatives to Dynomat. I have heard of edead, and brown paper are they comparable. Are there others???? :help:

The FAQ section has a full listing of the different brands of sound deaener. I used eDead and it works just as good as dynamat, and it's only $1 per square foot.

eDead, brown bread, fatmat. lots of alternatives.
if ya want to go real cheap, go to home depot and buy a roll of roofing material that they lay under the shingles as an ice barrier. same stuff, but a bit thinner, and the adhesive isn't quite as good on sheet metal.. but it does the job.
another alternative to matting is spray-liner.

thanks for the info gentlemen.
do i simply ask for ice barrer material and they will give me the correct stuff or is there a specific name this stuff goes by? Also, does this stuff smell when the car is close and the temperture is high?

justin, have you tried the eDead liquid? any good?

That should do it :)

yeah I forgot the name of that product at home depot. it's aluminum on one side and sticky on the other and comes in a roll. they'll know what it is.

peel and seal

i ordered some online.. its called protecto wrap.. if u want, ill send you the link.. only thing is you have to buy in bulk(3 rolls)

I looked at Lowes for that stuff.

I didnt find it, but I did find some brown stuff thats similar w/out an aluminum backing.

Was like $60 for a roll....
