jamess115 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hi folks. Many will argue that supressing cabin noise in the zed takes away from the character of what the car is, but this is something I have been considering for some time as I just find it too noisy. On a related topic, I am also considering upgrading the bose which just reverberates under the noise of the wheels. So my question is: Does anyone on here have actual experience of using Dynamat ? I know there are alternatives but is it any good? Is it worth stripping out the car for? I know there are alternatives like Skinz etc, but I wouldn't want to go to the trouble of pulling up the carpet/seats/doors etc only to find that it is crap. My idea is to Dynamat the car followed by half inch of Dynaliner. Opinions would be welcome as this appears expensive stuff. Thank-you ...

Wasso Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I dynamat'ed my zed for Audio and Exhaust purposes. Yes makes a noticeable improvement and makes the car feel more grown up. I used Dynamat only because I also didn't want to spend less money on something that wasn't as good. Yeah there's others but I just went with the history Dynamat. Doing the full Audio thing isn't easy especially wiring the door speakers up. If that be the case you're not using the BOSE wiring.

Voodoo Vix Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I used silent coat, cheaper than dynamat, but has reduced the noise and vibrations a lot (I have a Japspeed K1 so there was a fair amount of both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I also used silent coat .... Made a big difference to road noise and making the sound better on the stereo ... £80 well spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscopervis Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Dynamat or the alternatives all do the same thing - add mass to the panels to minimise vibrations and thus road noise. I suppose it depends how far you want to go. Doors would be worthwhile, I think for the boot area, may be better to get a thicker carpet.

jamess115 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks for the input. I will probably go with Silent Coat if I can be bothered at all. Looks like a lot of work and fleabay are selling the stuff for about £80 for 40 sheets. I need to weigh up if I can be arsed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siman350z Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It does work very well, I'm amazed when people say the 350z is noisy though. Try an exige with a race exhaust- then you'll be needing dynamat! It's well proven and although you'll need to strip and will be adding weight to the car, you should achieve what you're after.

Asad Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I used dynamat and worked a treat í ½í±Œ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess115 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) What I can't get my head around is that the stuff is the thickness of a piece of foil and yet people are saying its that effective. Has anyone on here used Dynaliner with it; (in the boot area for eg) ? I can see how that could absorb the sound *UPDATE* I have taken the advice and lined the boot area with Dynamat (which is where the bulk of the noise seems to be coming from and its great. Thanks all. Edited August 19, 2014 by jamess115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
