Uh, you can tell from the pic? Come on. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif According to the specs its 80mil thick with a 15mil aluminum constraining layer. Over all product thickness does not tell us density (or material type/properties), but if that alum layer spec is correct, its far thicker than anything SS has that Im aware of.

Well one thing I'm just a little nervous about weight on my tailgate.

The cmopany that makes Road Kill for Stinger is decent.

The product is actually 70 mils thick with a 4 mil foil.

Not 15 mils

The 6 mil, high temper foil on Damplifier Pro is 50% thicker, and a good deal stronger too.

Plus the Damplifier Pro is 80 mils thick.

That ad definitely says 15mil alum layer. But your number sounds much more believable (and I suspect either you or Don actually measured it).

I'm more thinking price wise.. is it comparable to regular damplifier?

True, but that is an ad for a vendor

Go to the AAMPofAmerica.com stinger page. 4 mil foil

I have taken measurements, and the foil does come in at 4 mils, but the butyl is 70

Price?

A 20 sq foot pack of Damplifier is $59.98

In terms of performance, it will be close

Damplifier is designed to outperform most of the better competitors out there while weighing less.

It does a good job against most quality damping mats.

Even though Damplifier is our entry level material, the foil is still just as thick as the foil on Damplifier Pro; 6 mils thick.

Since the foil does so much of the damping performance, it does not require as much adhesive to do its job.

It ends up being the same because they're both 75 shipped.

Spray-on deadeners tend to be better mass loaders, due to ease of total coverage, but the mats are definitely a superior product in almost every other way (performance-wise). Spray-ons do not have a constraining layer, for example.
