? about DYNAMAT

[Tom Welch]

Ok Rathead, here's what I've found so far... Quietride solutions uses a "dense sound absorbing pad". The product I found looks exactly and I mean exactly like all the photos I've seen. I have not done a side by side comparison though. 24 sq ft for about 25.00, its 3/8" thick, advertised to be the equivalent of r-19 insulation which is about 8 inches thick if I remember. I have a call in to the firm that produces this stuff and I am going to set myself up as a dealer to find the real skinny on this stuff. I have shown this to some friends and they agree with me as far as the two products being the same. I believe that what I purchased today is flame retardent and mildew resistant. It would seem that it would need to be to cover a water heater anyway. I'll have more as info comes to me. The Quietride kit for a 1st gen Camaro/Firebird sells for 540.00, this comes with aluminum tape to seal seams, spray adhesive, and some dynamat. The rep on the phone said that dynamat is best used in squares or rectangles in various places inside the car since covering the whole interior was not more effective just more expensive. Oh yeah, it is precut too. I just looked at Dynamat's site and was daring and unafraid to ask questions, their product is very similar to a/c duct insulation, the peel and stick kind that is.
