Sound Dampening

I personally prefer Brown Bread by BQuiet. The name is not as well known over here as Dynamat, but if you do your research you'll find that it's a superior product for a better price.

20 sq ft is hardly anything - probably enough to do both doors. To do it right, you'll need 50-100 sq ft minimum.

Hey crager34, here is a link to site where someone did a comparison of a bunch of different types of deadener. It's a good read.

As another cheap alternative, I've heard of people using an aluminum backed asphalt based product called Peel & Seal. It's cheap and supposedly very similiar to the name brand aluminum backed asphalt products.

It can be found at Lowes and possibly Home Depot (and other variants depending on your location).

A few months ago I did a complete interior application of B-Quiet Extreme.


Recently I picked up a roll of B-Quiet Ultimate (higher grade) to cover the noisy spots again and the hood.


Overall I am very happy with the B-Quiet products, and I will agree that eBay is the place to buy them.

For those of you who have done this in the VX, how much would you say it has helped? does it deaden the road noise by 50 percent or more?

I have used dynamat in car stereo applications years ago and it of course helped there, but the cars i applied it in then were very quite road -wise already... my sole reason for doing it in the VX would be to kill the road and wind noise.
