As it stands, my patrol has most of the floor section, drivers and rear barn doors and firewall covered in sound proofing material, and the difference is amazing! Driving to work and back today and the traffic jams didn't even bother me because I was in awe at how the patrol felt and sounded. I covered the transmission tunnel in dynamat, and I can't hear the clunking gear changes, which almost makes it feel nicer to change. I did start off with fatmat, but I'll be ripping this out and replacing it with dynamat. Then covering it all in acoustic liner made by car builders. Will also do under the bonnet and chuck on some hood liner aswel. Great way to transform a car!

Awesome stuff mate and great to hear.
I think I'll push ahead with the mats and foam..

How many meters do you think you covered?? Just wondering if 4.5 m2 is enough or if I'll need the 6m2??

Yes mate. 4 or 5 thick coats. It must be 3or4mm thick I reckon. Dries hard and has no smell.

Beauty, that was the answer I was looking for. I think there is a small hole in the muffler and there is heaps of noise coming in through under the centre console. Needs something to quieten down a bit. Cheers

Lol a new muffler would help too I imagine or fit a straight muffler replacement section.

Well I must admit these guys have my money due to customer service as this arrived today..

You will need more than 6 square meters if you want to do the entire car. I think I have about 8 square meters installed in mine and I still need to do 3 more doors and a few blanks spots of floor.

I do like that car builders acoustic liner, so I've ordered a couple of sheets of that and will rip all the dash out again and line the firewall with it. I'll also work at trying to quieten the dash assembly. Not sure about yours, but mine rattles and makes noises.

[BigRAWesty]

Yea I've asked for a quote for 4m2 of the panel deadener, and 10 of the foam.
My dash sounds like it has loose change in it...
So yes will be trying to make it quieter..
