Also, if you're really serious about sound deadening you should be aware that true sound deadening is a modular system that includes painted on sound deadener/heat absorber, dynamat-type insulation sheets, and foam. Depending on what you're aiming for you can get away with using only one of those products, while using all three of those applications is aimed at audiophiles and people that want as little noise as possible.

As was said earlier, you gotta pay to play. While there are certainly products out there that are cheaper and offer a better value compared to similar products from other manufacturers, when it comes down to it, real automotive sound deadening falls into the same category as any other automotive upgrade. That is to say, you get what you pay for.

Good luck!
Yea I've learned from buying cheap stuff before, it usually bits you in the a**. I'm not really going for crazy sound deaden. I just want something a little quieter than what I have now for trips. I think I might pay the little extra and get the second skin stuff. The guy that did the review on the different types of material recommends the stuff highly. Have any of you all use there product before?
