dynamat or R-blox

Another second skin customer here. I used Damplifier Pro everywhere. Pretty much 100% coverage. Then Luxury Liner Pro on the firewall, the floor and the trunk. Since I have a vert, along with poly body mount bushings, solid motor mounts, and a bottom filled pontiac standard block making close to 600hp, I wanted to do what I could to minimize the "bad" noise.

The Damplifier Pro was awesome to work with. No heat guns or anything other than the provided small roller and a single knife blade were required. It sticks - period. It easily applies and rolls. No issues in corners, crevices, angles or rounded areas. Not a single solitary corner of a single piece came loose.

The Luxury Liner Pro was also great to work with - you use spray adhesive for it.

For a convertible, the car feels "solid".

I've used Dynamat. I have a little Dynamat Extreme. Damplifier Pro is better. Fatmat isn't even remotely in the same league. My viewpoint is that you only want to apply this stuff once, so don't cut corners.

Did it tone down the exhaust droan at all? I have a 61 ragtop Impala with a 383ci sbc and 50 series flowmasters on it that can get to be a little much. I want to use some second skin products to take care of it and was wondering exactly what difference it made for you?

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I don't know yet. Motor has been run and on the dyno, but not in the car. Finishing up a few things. If I wanted, I could probably start it today but I'm doing a little final wiring things and haven't been in a hurry. I've been under a bunch of snow so weather will prevent driving the car around here for at least another 6-8 weeks. Car has never been driven with current components. All I know on this car is how the doors feel opening/closing, closing the trunk, etc. On another vehicle, Damplifier was installed at the same time as a new exhaust.

On my car the biggest gain was from using the Luxury mat pro that they carry. It is a little too thick for my liking but made a huge difference. But this was laid on top of the Damplifier. The car is very quiet inside now.

Wow
glad to see so many people like our Damplifier Pro damping mats.

When it comes to the comparison with R-blox and Dynamat Extreme, the Dynamat will out perform the R-blox by a large margine.
In fact, from what we can tell, it would take a bit more than 2 layers of R-blox to get the same results from 1 layer of Dynamat Extreme.

Dynamat is actually designed to go in cars for vibration reduction.
R-blox is a product that is made by a company that makes roofing tape. It was not designed by the manufacturer to go in a car, which is why Dynamat is that much better.
Hope that helps!

I'm running 2.5 inch Flowmasters with an X pipe. I have one layer of regular Damplifier and and one layer of the thiner Overkill. both have 100% coverage. Even without the bottom part of the back seat in, there is no drone. You know the engine is alive when you step on it, but you can have a normal conversation and even use the phone when just cruising.

Just to add my.02... was in Lowe's the other day, needed some roofing stuff, saw the roof tape, looked it over and decided to punch a small hole in the plastic, took a whiff and put it right back down. The asphalt used STUNK! I can't imagne putting an asphalt based product in the car, what would it stink like in the heat of summer, don't want to breathe all those toxins in, might wind up growing an extra arm or something. They did however have a "butyl hybrid" tape, didn't smell but was very thin, hmmmmm.....
