Some really great info here: http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/

BTW e-dead and gutter repair tape from HD are basically the same thing...and yes $100 is definately worth it....and while were on the subject may I say that you might as well do it right the first time with the good $hit!!!!

How much is the peel and seal? I've never heard of it until this thread....

its pretty much roofing stuff and in home depot or lowes, not expensive in comparison to some of them out there. try a search on their sites.

I thought it was like $16 for a 6" by 50' roll at HD....$16/25ft^2 = $.64 ft^2.

Thanks for the link to the sounddeadening showdown. THat was VERY informative. So...no peel and seal for me. If I do anything..at a minimum it will be fatmat.

Still looks like a hellofa lot of work. I also suppose since i've got a 4 door I'd need to do ALL 4 DOORS which is something I hadnt planned on. I'd definitely ONLY do the doors. Not pulling up carpet.

Peel & Seal is the same as Fatmat.

From the "Sound Deadener Showdown"

heard that eDead and FatMat were really Peel & Seal.

I've heard that too. I have seen samples of Peel & Seal that are indistinguishable from the products you mentioned.

I thought that he said that Peel and Seal was basically the same as some of the ashphault based products..which he said to avoid.

I'll have to re-read.

Peel n' seal is NOT sound deadener.I don't know why people don't realize this.Search SD, there was a huge argument on this matter not too long ago.

peel and seal is no sound deadener, but Fat-mat is Peel and Seal, and Fat-mat is sound deadener.

dynamat is sound deadener, and it is also relabeled peel and seal.

In looking at his web site again....it does appear that this is what he;s saying:

Quote from the site:

Question: "I heard that eDead and FatMat were really Peel & Seal."

Answer: "I've heard that too. I have seen samples of Peel & Seal that are indistinguishable from the products you mentioned. "

So while he kind of beats around the bush...he's apparently saying that Peel and seel is the same as Fat-Mat.

So Mike, are you really saying that if I'm gonna use Fatmat...I might as well go by peel and seel?

I do not pretend to have seen all brands of sound deadener, but asphalt based products are not really that good compared to even a “lower end” dedicated sound deadener. If you have Peel & Seal in your car and think it “works great”, you will really be surprised what a better product can do.

Why would you even write this when everyone who has seen the two side by side know that this is not true?

Anything that mass loads a panel can be used as a sound deadener. Doesn't mean it will perform optimally or as good as other products on the market made specifically for such purposes.....

And as mentioned....a lot of "sound deadening" products are nothing more than rebadged peel 'n seal.

Yes excellent point!

You can put a flannel blanket in there and it will quiet it down, but that does not mean it is the best thing to use.
