Sound deadening and heat shielding materials

[Rainman]

I used Hushmat in my 260Z.. Another aluminum backed butyl sheet type product. If you'd like photos I'm happy to share.

Hi,

I purchased Murdermat after a lot of study. The order arrived in great shape and shipping was pleasingly fast via UPS. However, the order arrived without an instructions (helpful hints) but I found cutting and fitting the material was straight forward using a sharp utility knife. How well it actually works only time will tell. The day I installed it the outside temperature was -15F and the Z was in full hibernation.

The company requested a product review and, as such, I wrote it up; both the good and the not so good. It was the first product review placed on the company web site and if you read it you will note the company published the whole review which I think was pretty straight up of them.

Cheers,

George

I use Wurth 890-100-060 sound deadening mats. Exact same stuff used by BMW in their new cars.

I also used Quiet Car on my ride. It's hard to give an accurate rating without driving before and after in a short period of time.

Folks have said my car has a refined ride- that's partially because of the noise reduction I bet.

I bought someones leftovers so I got off cheap- 40$

Hi George,

Have you installed any of this Murdermat yet? Do you think it will also block the heat? Would love to see pictures of your install.

Thanks

I used the B-Quiet material. Works ok, but, maybe something thicker would have been better:

Hi mgmoreau,

I could/should have taken a series of pictures while I was installing the material. That said, its now covered up with foam and carpet. As such, I rolled them back in an attempt to give you at least a small look at the material in place.

Cheers,

George

Hmmm, I still can't make up my mind about which product both performs and is easily installed/applied.

[bpilati]

That might have been me. I used it and am VERY happy. One - two gallon container is enough for an entire Z.

BTW, how is this stuff holding up under the heat of summer? Does it remain stable?

Are most you priming and painting the surface, then coating......or what?

Bryan P. I have purchased the murdermax panels and am just about to install it over my own version of Lizard skin that I made up from the same components,

paint and micro balloons(micro spheres by 3M) I used Tremclad metal rust paint as the medium, it was applied at about 60*F and the metal of the body has been with in 30* - 70*F since then. That was a month ago and I can still push a fingernail into it if I push hard. As the temps increase I think it will harden up more but what I think is really 'giving' is the micro spheres, they are popping as I push. Tomorrow I'll be heating the inside firewall before applying the murdermax to the cab then spray adheseve on that to attach the firewall insulation. A bit of over kill I know but there is nothing like hearing a good song in a quiet car. I'll let you know how it goes.
