Hi guys:
Are there any less expensive alternatives to this material (meaning, similar in performance but at less cost than the brand name)? What have you guys used? I want to underlay my trans tunnel and floor pans with it; my floor repair is nearly done and it's time to source it. Thanks!
Chris
yes there is and you can buy it from Lowes. it is actuallay a flexable flashing material. I don't have the name in front of me but it is about 14" across but is some like 20 feet on a roll. You will also need some cans of spray adhesive.
i got this tip from MAP, see Mike I do pay attention. if you are reading this perhaps you could correct the details. :read:

Thats "Peal and Seal" from what I under stand up north you can get larger sheets of this from the stores , but in my area its just the gutter liners.

I think up north we call it " ice and water sheild "

Doesn't Dynamat also serve as a noise barrier as well?
When my oldest brother drove my Pinto he put some sheets of Dynamat under the trunk lid and on the doors. I removed what was on the doors when I did actuator work on them but I don't really notice much of a difference.
Youch, anyone interested in reading about materials of this type might consider visiting "sounddeadenershowdown.com". What an eye opener! I am convinced now that spending more money is a better way to go, rather than a visit to Lowe's. I hate to say it, but you really do "get what you pay for" sometimes; research helps.

Dynamat is a very effective sound deadener,well worth the money. Unfortunately it is also very heavy.it added about 70 to 80 pounds to my car
there is a product called fatmat. its cheap and really nice. go to http://www.fatmat.com/ for 10 sq ft its $129.00
I used the "Peal and Seal" on the floor & firewall of my pinto to control the engine & exhaust noise it's lighter & cheaper, How can it fall off the inside on top of the floor?
It's still on the inside firewall hasn't moved and has been through some hot 90+ in the sun with the windows up..
If you want to save a few Bux do all the low surfaces with Peal & seal and the roof with the expensive mat.
