Affordable Deadner..

[Gearstix 10+ year member]

I'm wondering if anybody has used that butyl ashphalt vapour barrier that you can buy at most hardware stores as sound deader?

I can get a few different brands locally, but I don't want my car to stink like a freshly tared roof.

Is there certain brands that don't smell?

I've heard that the vapour barrier is used to be what Dynamat was, and the like, they just relabeled. it.

I know Second Skin and stuff is popular, I just don't have the cash for it.

That shit actually work? I did the floor of my pickup in it, because I hate cleaning carpet, and I can scrub it with a brush.

I can get Resisto here locally. I believe its 40mil thick.

I've heard the Quick-Roof brand doesn't smell, but I'd have to order it over the internet.

I'd be careful with vapor barriers and roofing tapes. They look somewhat similar to vibration dmapers but are designed for a different purpose. Many will fail at higher temperatures, but in the rare cases when they don't fail, the will reduce very little vibrations compared to a real damping mat.

Remember, less of a higher quality material will outperform more of a inferior quality product. So, if you have $100 to spend, but the highest quality product that allows you to get the most for your money.

I'd rather have $100 worth of awesomeness than $100 worth of fail..

For quality products, look in to

Dynamat Extreme

Hushmat

Stinger Road Kill Expert

Cascade Audio vmax

SDS

(we make a few also)

And as far as bed liner goes, I would reccomend a solid viscoelastic noise coating. For the most part, bed liners are not elastomeric and do not have enough sound deadening addatives to get efficient results. For the money you spend on 1 gallon of a DIY Bed Liner (usually around $100) you can almost get 2 gallons of a vibration coating.

For quality coatings look in to these products:

Quiet car 118

edead v3

Stealth Kote

(we make a couple also)

Hope that helps

worst piece of information i have read so far today. bedliner will not help you. it is a protective coating not a vibration dampener.

kerosene can burn like gas but you don't put it in your car. things are designed for a specific purpose.
