Interior Modifications needed.....who can help? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

angdefeo · 10-29-2009, 08:56 AM

I just got my car back from the shop where i had the exhaust modified from the turbo back. I added Perrin Cat Back Twin Tip Exhaust. Being new to the modification world, i didn't know how loud each seperate brand of exhaust could be. I was told by the shop where i bought the part and had it mounted that it is on the less noisy side. Its not bad and i am not complaining about the exhaust tune that you hear in the car.

What i am curios to learn is can i add any sound proofing/deadning material to the cabin in order to make it quieter? Has anyone else used any type of product to whether it be spray foam or egg shaped foam pads in the cars panels in order to make the ride inside the cabin quieter?

I don't think I would cover every door or the entire cabin with either material. I was thinking of just the fire wall between the trunk and the back seats, the floor of the trunk, and the side walls in the trunk. I don't want to create a sound proof booth, just reduce the outside sound rumble from the exhaust. Are there any auto body or sounds shops that might do this type of work?

Thanks! Do you know anyone who installs dynamat? I just viewed a video of how to intall it and its slightly beyond my mechanical ability to install. Actually i dont want to buy the neccessary tools needed to take my trunk apart and the blow dryer used to install it.

if youre willing to give up your car for a day or two im sure i can do it for you if you buy the stuff. if thats not in the cards, then most high quality audio shops can do it.

yes, i can give up the car for a few days. would i be able to help you so i can learn the process and get more familiar with taking the car apart?

i used to work on removing engines when i was in college for a few years. but i am not familar with interiors.

do you live in the phialdelphia area?
