I watched this video, read the comments, even the not nice ones, ordered this stuff and did my c6, and it works. I also drive as a daily driver. It cut out a lot of noise. Thank you.

Awesome before and after, no bias results and great review. Awesome install, too!

Wow dude! You went all in very impressive. I’ve only done this once before with my last car it was hearty amount of time . I’m currently starting it again on my newer one lol. Great video!

This was a great comparison video. Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! much appreciated

Excellent video. You put a lot of effort into both the sound deadening and the video and it shows. I can really hear the difference.

Exactly what i wanted to know. Thanks for the upload.

Most people might not realize, but 6 decibels is a huge improvement. I’ve been working with deadening products for 30 years and do a lot of semi’s.

Almost 50% less loudness

Thanks for the excellent dB test comparison. I was shocked at -10dB!! However pleased for you. Imagine if you did every surface you could (I know that is A LOT of time spent), doing doors, bonnet, wheel wells...under car spraying if you are super keen and roof. Love your vette by the way, not a lot of these in Australia. The exhaust sounds "Gruffer", if there is such a word. 👍

On such a car, which I also owned and experimented with, the biggest difference in road noise reduction comes from: 1. Adding additional 3M rubber strip insulation to 2 doors, hatch and hood, to drastically reduce ingress of exterior noise. 2. Spraying multiple layers of rubberized undersealant to entire undercarriage + 4 wheel fender areas. 3. Underhood noise insulation.

It’s a pretty good review. I like how you approached it.

Nice work! Although I would have put two layers of Dynamat on those large flat sections..another trick is to put mass loaded vinyl on top of your Dynaliner

Nice video........glad to see someone that appreciates the a quiet interior even while driving a performance car...........you did awesome so far........the doors would bring it home.........and yeah you kinda do look like Matt damon

Now this was a quality content upload.

great review. 10db is an excellent reduction in noise!

Nice! Was contemplating doing this to my xterra, but this makes me think this is a worthwhile upgrade.

Excellent, excellent review - looks like you live near me, I recognize those road signs - anyway, doing the same to my 2021 Mustang GT - full coverage - you’re correct - it’s a big job - but absolutely makes a giant difference

im sold! the way you setup this video is ingenious

awesome video man

Great video u get directly to do point it does make a difference 👍

great review; a decibel meter doesn't lie, though neither do ears. 6-10dba is great, I dig that. The thing I heard was, as you mentioned, the tonal quality change of the exhaust; it seems one would get fatigued very quickly. This helps illustrate why so many people in the forums are having less than stellar luck getting the "tomb-like" sound. Sound damping & isolation, or lack thereof is design choice & one best applied in house. Why car companies don't consider the health & wellbeing of consumers, in this respect, is beyond me. I'm looking at you #Honda

Nice video. Helps make my decision

That is so much work! Amazing job. Tell me you replaced those factory paper cone speakers also 🙏

Great video!

Hi guy - Good video. Another big noise maker on many Corvettes is their run-flat tires. They also cost twice the price of normal tires and are 25% heavier. Replace those and consider a not-so-loud exhaust system to further quiet down the beast.

Thank you for having money and do what you do. 👍🏾

Thanks for the comparisons it seems well worth doing it, was your hand brake on while you were driving?

Omg this is the right video and the video I was looking for. can't tell how much I really needed to hear the difference the way u showed in this video was really what I was looking for in youtube thank you so much u deserve a 👍Honestly .

Excellent video, thank you.

I appreciate this video a lot. Its taught that if were as willing and able as muddytaco to make a video, Id do the knock test from the other side of the panel to give a better audible description of noise transfer.

best video hands down

Very good comparison!! I love it! So do you think it worth $$? Will you do it on your future cars?

I need a quieter car where i can listen to my thoughts and connect with myself better 😭

I would have liked to see a sound comparison with you tapping from the outside of the vehicle in order to see the outside sound penetration differences between each layer. Obviously it will tap softer with a softer material on top of the Dynamat butyl layer, but what about from outside with and without the Dynaliner?

This was hilarious and informative! Next time dont just knock but hit a beat! Lol

Thank you for this video I got dynamite but ima get dynaliner

Butyl based deadeners are better for bass because they add weight to panels reducing flex and rattle. What you really need is closed cell foam with mass loaded vinyl on top, it weighs almost nothing but its thick so it blocks out a lot ofsound. I use all 3 in my car .

Did you only do the floor pan and trunk? I wonder how much quieter it would be if you also did the doors, roof, and front firewall. I’d like to install a straight cut gearbox in my car someday and I don’t want to hear it until I roll the windows down

Dynamat works. I've used it in every single car I've owned since 2004. It will filter out a lot of the road noises, especially the higher pitch sounds. However it's not a cure all product. Most of the road noise sounds actually come from your windows. One of my biggest complaints when I owned a 2015 Dodge Charger was the heat from transmission. Tearing down the interior I noticed that dodge put some effort into sound deadening already with thick carpet and specific spots with a cheaper version of sound deadening stickers.. However, It just wasn't enough. I did a cover all and it cut down my db down about 8-9 decibels . I would say a significant impact overall. Ceramic tint can also help with road noise and heat.

The day I traded in the charger the sales guy was impressed. He noticed a difference right away and asked if I had done something to the car because he drives chargers all day long and mine was much quieter than normal. I told him I used dynamat in the interior. (I installed it myself) and had a local install 400$ ceramic tint. I ended up getting 17k for the trade vs the original offer of 15k. Not sure what they sold it for because I don't live in that state anymore. But that 900$ investment helped secure me some peace of mind. I drive an Acura TL now that I paid cash for but haven't installed any dynamat yet.

Ceramic tint reduces noise? Haven't heard of that. I have a 2018 charger I'm about to get ceramic tinted, back when my wife drove it she skipped appointments to get it done, now the paneling is coming unglued bad, especially this year. I'm about to get three vehicles ceramic tinted, including my 2002 Chevy Tahoe that I'm putting a quality system in that's been fully rebuilt mechanically and it's getting sound treated. It's lifted and has load tire noise.

Dynamaterial salesman of the year

A divorce later,a nice quiet car.

how did the heat block affect?

the knock test comparison would be an awesome beat to a rap song

Big difference, I did dynamat x 2 but still need dynaliner x

I think that the noise would be a lot different with the knocking coming from the underside. Mini the the material you're knocking on and you're listening on the same side. With the knocking or noise coming from the other side then it has to pass through the material. But that's not easy to test I understand

Big question now is how much slower is it with all the added weight?

Surreal video... I'm watching a guy knock on a front door over and over!

Cinco Ranch Blvd?! Going to the Alamo Draft House?!

Also if you wanted to reduce engine noise on your vette probably should get hood liner and rubberize your wheel arches

High way bunch mark it all, 86-88 to 76-78 = 10 dB diff It was 10dB difference, which is impersetive. 3dB reduction mean half the power delivered to the microphone sensor. So, 10 dB means more than 9 dB which is 3*3dB. Therefore a factor of 2^3=8. So, the noise reduction now is divided by 8. That is the noise now is 1/8th of the noise before the insulation.

CLD (constraint layer dampers like Dynamat, Damplifier, etc) really only needs partial coverage (25%) to deaden all the metal/panels. CCF (closed cell foam like DynaLiner, Overkill, etc) is for stopping rattles of trim that vibrates. MLV (mass loaded vinyl like Dynapad, Luxury Liner, etc) is for the floor from the firewall/footwell on back and it will make the vehicle much quieter. Although you got results of lower noise, you may have went about it with the wrong product as far as Dynamat goes. That's a whole lot of unnecessary weight and $$$. MLV is heavy as well, but less Dynamat plus MLV might be a wash as far as weight and $$$ goes but it should provide much better results. All the companies that make these products (CLD, CCF, MLV) for sound control detail all the uses for this stuff on their websites. The except may be Dynamat which appears to push the 'more is better' concept for their CLD. See this video for a better explanation... kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoWptJWxaKnKYKw.html

Jody V - i thought dynadeck was mass loaded vinyl? How many layers / how thick can you make your floor? im working on a ford diesel van right now. i have 2 layers of dynamat extreme. i have either 1/4 inch dynaliner or 1/2 inch dynaliner to put down. i would like to add 1/2 inch dynapad to this. So im looking at either 1 inch or 1 1/4 inch of layers under my carpet.

Jody Z I sometimes find that really flat noisy sections need two or three layers 100% to be really effective.

gotta do the insides of the wheel wells

Good stuff just I wouldn't pay big bucks for big name brands. I did my mistake long time ago and bought dynamat but if you get farther into the sound system you can actually find this deadener called vibraflex 190 mil. Your ride will get heavier by adding this so I wouldn't suggest doing that in a fast car. Also soundskin and second skin products are much affordable then dynamat and they take you into a different game zone that you will never look back into dynamat.

Is the dynaliner an option? What is the difference between just the Dynamat and Dynaliner?

Hopefully you won’t get any interior rattles after you took the whole thing apart.

Sound proofing the doors would make a big difference..and the hatch lid

Do you know about the Weight difference? Before and after?

If you want quiter you need a layer of mass loaded vinyl onto with a layer of closed cell foam. Dynamat xtreme isn't for sound proofing.

That had to have made a huge difference in noise levels surely.

How much weight do you think it added?

Is anyone going to answer the darn door?

More than half your noise is going to be coming from the firewall and on all vehicles it's nearly impossible but the best application is to get that Dynamite all the way up to the bottom of the front windshield. And that's pretty much impossible. Also if your center console continues to be hot pulled off flip over spray foam the bottom of it

HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL WEIGHT HAVE YOU ADDED TO YOUR....LIGHT WEIGHT CORVETTE?

Your mom's earring looks fabulous. And that 1987 goatee makes you look sooo tough.

Have you thought about doing your doors? Ive learned a lot after watching the Car Audio Fabrication channel (check out his door video) and think your un-dampened doors are the reason why your car doesn't sound better then a luxury car which is a shame after spending all that effort. Maybe do the firewall and roof as well because that is the only thing left without deadening.

Hey - I knew I recognized Grand Parkway.

will you be doing the hood ?

Definitely need a metal roller to do it faster.

Nice man.. while your in there u might want to replace those crappy factory speaker

The ride quiet like a Benz or Lexus now?

This is the weirdest video and i absolutely could not stop watching

For such a noisy high performance car, the cabin’s firewall is the most critical area. But its mostly not done. And on such noisy cars, Dynaliner is a waste of time, as its totally useless against the low freq booming droning noise. Your Dynamat Extreme or any equivalent shd hv been topped with the same company’s excellent Dynapad. That will make a significant difference

That's a ton of money

Knock knock........ Who’s there

Surely no more than the equivalent of a few bags of groceries. This amount of material could be carried by a single person, and it's distributed over a large space so it shouldn't affect performance

Dynamat is a great product but kills the performance of the car because of weight. Helps a LOT with the drone of an aftermarket exhaust on long highway trips.

Startup doesn’t count. Stock was in cup holder, dynamat you heard meter providing isolation.

Who is it?

thumbs up for the test. major thumbs down for the auto transmission.
