I have Qwikliner and it works well. "Low Pressure" material is softer and more rubber like with a coarser texture. This makes it more slip resistant. Because it has a 15-20 second gel time it can flow into low places and fill them much better than "High Pressure" can. Due to "Low Pressure's" density and thickness, it is an excellent sound deadener. Body rattle and road noise are greatly reduced. For this reason we recommend "Low Pressure" almost always for vehicle interiors and exterior:thx.

I've used Dynamat at work, and eDead v3 on my own vehicle. eDead v3 is FAR more cost effective, and if you were spraying it on I'm sure you could do it a lot faster. I'm satisfied with my edead v3, the only drawbck I can offer is that you can't use it to seal up a door panel since its a liquid. Eventually I'll get some peel & seal for sealing up the door panels and I need to do my spare tire well. All in due time.

i vote for secondskinaudio.com
they have watery spray on heat and sound dampeners along with a brush on paste version.
not to mention they also carry foil backed dynamat style sheets in 2 sizes along with all sorts of open and closed cell foam mats in varying thicknesses. a big plus is they have a great forum and the owner is really cool.
their products stand up to some serious heat for those that are concerned. i believe they got tested up to 500 degrees F. dynamat n all that brown bread crap falls off vertical surfaces at somewhere over 200 degrees. ive had dynamat start to peel off on me but the tar melting and sticking to everything is way more of a problem. if i have no problems with it in hawaii most other places should be fine.
i bought over a grand in products from them and if i was running stock rims and tires and maybe spent another 100 on spraying the inner fender wells my interior would be tomb silent. after enough application of secondskin products you start to get picky about wind noise and tire roar, which cant really be helped unless you change the aerodynamics of the car and put on 15 inch rims with 65 series super soft rubber

Use the liquid and the press/stick on and I guarntee you will love the results. Every car I build I use this on and had nothing but great results. I usually use the paint for all the weird tucked away spots and use the stick on type for the floor boards/firewall and some spots on the door panels.

I used the lightweight vinyl dampening sheets from Parts Express in my Miata's doors and they made a big difference in quieting noise. It's very cheap and easy to apply. I don't know how it compares to the other ones but Parts Express has always come through for me on a lot of audio/electronic/video stuff.

I had a civic hatch that i had done with second skin and was not happy.
There is a huge misconception in how to truly reduce noise, you really don't need MASS.
I went and looked at the Sound Deadener Showdown - Your Source for Sound Deadening Products and Information he does not try to sell you what you don't need and did a huge test on all aforementioned brands

I have had great succsess using Nortan Bear Flash Tac, Its alot cheaper then Dynamat but seems to do a great job. There are two ways to go about sound deadening you can just cover a potion of the pannel on the largests flatest spot or you can cover the enier panel. If you want to get serriouse about it you will also need to seal up the service holes in your doors my prefrance for doing this by making up a fiber glass "Plug" then covering this with flash tac and fixing it in place.

Which product do you use? Trying to cut engine noise and tire noise.

I, and a number of independent tests would disagree with that statement. They are the most marketed though! Dynamat does make good products. But I would still use Damplifier or Damplifier Pro over Dynamat Extreme and usually at much better price point (Second Skin offers 20% discount to certain forum members on top of that!). For a bargain mat, I use RAAMmat BXT.

I have been reading many of the websites of different sound insulation manufacturers but am still confused...it seems that most tell you to apply a thin/dense mat (like Dynamat Extreme) then a thicker foam mat (like Dynaliner) What is the difference between what these two things do?
I am looking to deaden road noise but don't have a lot of thickness I can add under the carpet and trunk areas I am looking at. Is the thinner material enough?

Used damplifier pro years ago in my 2000 mustang for a SQ install. Double layered on the doors and mdf rings to mount the 6.5" components in them. After about 1-2 years the weight from the damplifier pro was either bending the hinges or pulling them out of adjustment. Doors started not latching everytime you swung them to close. Probably could have been adjusted but beware ... sound deadening with tar or butyl gets pretty heavy especially on coupes with long doors. Could even have impact on performance if you did a lot of area!
Proper cutting tools and rollers for installation save you many small cuts on your fingers. The metal backing on these things are razor sharp, think uber paper cut.

Looks like Second skin is giving similar advice. I would give them a call and ask for suggestions ... seriously. Dynamat is kind of like the turtle wax of the sound deadening industry, never been too impressed. I've only done deadening to stop vibration from subwoofers that in turn also deadened exterior noise. Even with a single layer of butyl foil backed you'd prob notice a big difference. Second skin is saying the damplifier pro is for vibration and Luxury liner goes on top of this to stop engine noise, road noise, exhaust drone.

If you do a solid prep job, you could use Peel & Seal (the roofing material). Might require a little more research to accomplish, but I've heard it's a cheap alternative to the professional stuff. One of my buddies used it for his old Camry and it worked like a charm...as far as I've heard.
