Installed FatMat and the sound difference is amazing ! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

i went to lowe's , got a 25sq ft roll of thin reflective insulation for $12.

covered the trunk only and it reduced the noise from my flomaster exhaust so much i'm going to take it out or remove half of it.

i can't even hear it roar anymore....sure the radio may sound a little better, but the car sounds like it did with the stock exhaust :(

so be advised!!

It was 3/8" inch thick with aluminum on both sides. Called reflective insulation for water heaters. It was in a 8" x 30ft (25 sq ft) roll or a 16" size. I got the 8", cut pieces to match the trunk liner and just ducted taped it together. Threw it under the trunk liner, and no more rip roaring exhuast notes!! :( Took 10 minutes to assemble a perfect trunk cutout and install.

Will take 2 minutes to remove and cut in half to get some good sound back

when it comes to sound deadeners everybody has their opinion, i was going to get rattle trap by fatmat but i started to hear bad shit about them. now im on the hunt again. its getting kinda annoying

Pyre · 06-07-2010, 02:46 PM

Anyone have any recomendations of sound deadeners, quality of deadening versus weight?

I found something for water heaters, it was two silver sides with bubble wrap in between. Is this the same thing ??

That's it.....use sparingly or you'll drown your exhaust rumble

torranosaurus · 06-09-2010, 01:48 PM

I found pipe insulation.
It comes in 12" rolls 15' long.
It has foil on one side, and what looks like double sided foam tape on the other.
Cost $12.
Thinking of turning my trunk carpet over in my house, and covering the back of it with this stuff, that way I can just remove the carpet and do something else if I choose to.
This stuff is really light, and I prefer to do a lightweight install.
That butyl stuff must be quite heavy.

ClutchKargo · 06-13-2010, 04:50 PM

I couldn't find anything close to what you all are talking about in either Lowe's or Home Depot.

I think I might have seen the foam with foil on one side for the pipes. I looked near the hot water heaters and in the insulation area and the duct work area.

I was looking for the bubble wrap stuff with foil on both sides.

What section is it in?
