Sound deadening inside the AMX - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

Nothing pretty or glamorous, but I spent so much dayum time puting this crap down I figured I'd post some picts. And it is kinda nice and shiny...

looks good bob!

So how hard was it to get formed into place? And how much weight do you think it adds to the car? Should be a lot quieter with that nice layer of sound deadener. My 70 is actually not bad at all inside even with the 3" dual exhaust. The Camaros do have a decent sound deadener from the factory though.

It was very easy to form into place, but the adhesive is messy as hell, and gets all over everything! I tried to clean it off the foil side, but had no luck. So, I went to the fabric store, bought some cheap cotton material, and applied it over the foil w/ spray adhesive. Now I have a nice, clean surface to work off of. And as far as weight, I have no idea. But since I'm deleting a bunch of weight out of the car, I figues it's not a bad trade off to quiet the interior and kill some of the heat from the exhaust. The interior used to shake, bake, rattle, and roll, so I'm looking to end that.

The stuff I used is called RAAMmat, and it is quite a bit cheaper than the "other" stuff out there, like Dynamat.

sweeet job bob. i saw an amx javelin in bradley beach saturday. reminded me of you.

BonzoHansen · 09-01-2008, 07:31 AM

Can't wait to see it done!

SteveR · 09-02-2008, 08:37 AM

Looks real neat, good job!

PS- nice key chain

Just an FYI I found that the actual Dynamat brand product isn't as messy. But it is substantially more money. Plan on around $1,000 to do the full floor on a car...that includes the trunk area. Larger cars would be more.

I'd have to look back at my old post from a year or two ago but I weighed a box of Dynamat before installing. If anyone really wants to know just do a search I suppose.

Bob, looks like a helluva job! One question though; what's with the clutch pedal? I thought you had an automagic in there?

12secondv6 · 09-04-2008, 03:18 PM

Very nice - I've done it to a couple past cars and it makes a BIG difference.

Thanks, Stevo! Well, the car was orig. a 4 speed, but due to twists of fate and BS it ended up an automatic. But, since it's a full manual valve body, 4 speed auto, I guess you can still say it's a four speed! I've been toying with the idea of using the clutch pedal to actuate my NAWZ system.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear some reports of it making a difference from guys who've done it, 'cause if it doesn't help after all the work I put in, I'm gonna bawl like a baby!

I checked out that RAAMmat stuff, it looks pretty good but for 120 dollars and only getting 68 sq ft thats ALOT.

I found this stuff for 70 dollars a roll of 50 sq ft if any one else is looking for sound deadening too.

i have bquiet in my car, mostly because its the lightest for the amount of sound it baffles.

hey bob, time to paint that roll bar!

Yeah, it's on the list. I'm gonna be doing some swing out side bars and other stuff, so once the fab work is done it'll get cleaned up and painted.
