Specifically i need something for the boot floor and spare wheel recess to help deaden the noise from the backbox. Anybody know of any companies that specialise in sound-proofing materials for cars? Cheers.

 

These used to advertised in True Grip magazine

You could also try Dynamat.

 

dynomat or brown bread (not the stuff you make toast with)

 

Just ordered the kit from NoiseKiller!!

Thanks for the lead, nice one!

 

Hi there

Have you got this kit yet and have you fitted it, if so what was it like to fit .

I fitted Noisekiller into a MY04 JDM STi. The bits are clearly marked. Generally straightforward. The kit has precut rubber pieces to go in

boot (a doddle),
under rear seet (also a doddle),
front carpets (a bit chewy),
rear carpets (for me - even chewier - ended up folding the bits in half, sliding them under carpet and working them flat),
transmission tunnel (I didn't even try!!!!)

also lots of stick on bits that go into the spare wheel well, innder wings and door panels.

Definitely makes a difference - money well spent - quite heavy though.

i agree with Up North i fitted this kit in mine earlier this year and although heavy it does make a considerable difference and my boy now can sleep in the back lol

 

Telboy!!! How did you get on??? Has it made much difference to the noise?

Have been looking for some stuff like this myself!

 

I just put all my Essex Scoby Crew clothing in the boot , Seems to Work Fine

Tiny...

 

 

Just wonderd if u cud tel me where u got the noisekiller from and how much it costs including postage for a similar amount to what u ordered. Is it better/cheaper/more expensive than dynamat?

 

I'm thinking of putting some soundproofing in the rear half of my 97 Sport hatch.
The undercarpet stuff sounds easy enough, I did the fronts when I first got the car using some old material.

How easy is it to do the rear arches and inner wings ? The plastic liners look like they could be a bit awkward to get out.

the whole kit will add 20kg!!

 

20kg ? on top of 50kg worth of ice,,,bugger that
let it rattle , lol .

 

I used Ivanhoe Sound deadening material, much like Dynamat on my sport. Used 3 rolls, would hate to think of the weight and cost for that lot, and I only roughly did the rear quater panels, the front door outer skins and the boot lid.

 

I've got some Ivanhoe Sound deadening material, did you just stick it on or does it have to be heated like Dynamat for the best results

Cheers

Ive used ivanhoe and it sticks much better once heated.

I did mine in the heat wave of summer last year, left it in the sun for 1/2 hour than had to use ski gloves to handle it!!!!! It got that hot. I would say use a heat gun, the bitumen like backing deffinatly works better warm.
