Sound Insulation for SSPs

kapracing · #1 05-07-2017, 09:52 PM

I did say some ( meaning not all) have the asphalt smell. Just saying with some of these guys in hotter climates than say Ohio or even GA it would be an issue. Just putting this out there so they can do there own research and to be sure they've made the best choices for them. Being my own bodyman I personally did not wanna chance having to take up something that would be annoying to me and a PITA to get up. I'll be doing my 67 fastback soon and will stick with the dynamat for certain...To each there own but I choose to spend a few extra bucks to be on the safe side...

But with that being said I'm sure they're others out there cheaper with similar results

Thanks everyone for the information and opinions. Jim did you use Peel & Seal? I have heard that is sold at HD and Lowes.

Here's that closed cell foil backed insulation material you can get at the hardware store that I used to replace a ruined section of factory insulation on my roof. I had to glue it up there myself but twelve years later still having no problems with this thrifty and effective solution.

I've been doing more online research and I am considering trying a product by Noico that is 80 mils thick, less than $2 per square foot, and is available on Amazon. There are 200 reviews, 5 stars. It seems like a good compromise between the very low end and the Dynamat, that frankly, is hard to justify the cost. Perhaps if I was an audiophile and needed to build a sound car, but that's not my application.

I really want to do the roof, but I will not do the trunk because I want to keep it original.
