I have completely coated two cars in Noico and there is no smell! Heck, I installed it in an 03 Jetta to GET RID of the crayon smell. Dynamat was the first to Market that's why it's so expensive. They just never price adjusted when competition entered the market. Noico all the way! maybe throw some adhesive backed, closed cell foam over it if you really want to get maximum results (I did this in a 2010 TDI Jetta. Doors, trunk and even the back of the fender inserts. I was extremely satisfied with the results).

    I spent almost $600 using Dynamat in the past on my Thunderbird to cover most of the interior including doors, rear panels in the back seat, entire trunk including spare tire well and lid, and the mating surface between my amp rack with cooling fans and the ported box. Its just too damn expensive.. all the other parts including firewall and most of the floor was generic sound deadener from an auto-body supplier, and I also used a heat gun along with a roller when using the cheaper stuff which made a huge difference. The end result was massive, especially after adding a nice EQ and external crossover.. too expensive however..
    I am going to do the same treatment to a Mark VIII LSC I have - same exact ported box with custom amp rack and cooling fans and it should have the same nice tight fit in the trunk since its more or less the same frame car. This time I think I am going to stick with a 50sq foot roll of Kilmat, and will add another 25sq feet for the other bits I would like to cover. I dont know if I will go with 50ml or 80ml, but even 50ml will make a hell of a difference over stock I suppose.

    I did a double layer of FatMat in my 95 Altima SE. 300sqft of it. I covered every square inch of the interior including inside the doors, door panels and interior bits and pieces. Aside from the Asphalt smell that lingered for about a month it worked flawlessly. I did that install 15 years ago and it's still holding up 100%. I'm not sure of the cost now but 15 years ago it was $300 for 300sqft.

    I used Noico "without gloves" and no injuries were incurred. Also I experienced ZERO smell of any kind. I was surprised how much coverage I got in my truck with only 18 sq ft. But getting another 36 sq ft soon, to finish the truck, and start on my car. LOVE this stuff :) Oh, and Noico also makes Noico RED 315 mil 20 sqft Сar Sound Insulation, Heat and Cool Liner, Self-Adhesive, which adds "some" additional sound deadening, but mostly, its used for heat insulation. For the roof of my truck, I used a layer of Noico regular sound deadener first, then a layer of this stuff, for heat insulation, for our Sacramento Summers :)

    • @chrispurdue5762
      @chrispurdue5762 Před 2 lety

      Dynamat is a better product period. Dynamat Xtreme reduced the amplitude of the resonance on my test panel by 9.5db decibels, while the 80mil version of Killmat only reduced the amplitude of the resonance of that same test panel by about 7.5db.
      And that's a handicapped test, as the dynamat I used on this test panel came in the roll (their 4 square foot package) which reduces effectiveness, while Killmat came in flat sheets. Last time I tested Dynamat, from a pack that came in flat sheets, it reduced resonance of that test panel by 11db.
      And, Killmat's heat resistance is garbage.

    • @911mykid
      @911mykid Před rokem

      If you are doing an interior panel use a USA brand butyl. Kilmat, siless, fatmat all cheap deadening will have asphalt, even if it says it’s just butyl. After the butyl layer, use a closed cell foam liner for additional sound absorption and insulation. Spend extra on a good real butyl layer and then you can go with a cheaper closed cell foam to save $. And buy a roller. You’re going to be rolling for hours, so I suggest to spend extra on a quality roller as well. I’m saying all this from years of experience installing.

    • @pen25

      you would be better off using a spray on liner. before the liner is sprayed on make sure you clean the underside completely. and ensure its dry. spray por15 to seal and convert any rust. then spray on the liner. not doing any of this will result in trapped moisture and rust

    Excellent sound deadener is polystyrene. This is what Hefty picnic plates are made from. You cannot scream thru a .250 thick sheet of this stuff. It has a few problems tho. Its brittle and sensitive to heat over 250 f.

  • @citizen5700

    unfortunately i don't have a sound comparison. i bought a box of dynamat and kilmat. the dynamat is much heavier than the kilmat, 23 vs 17 pounds. the dynamat sheets are 3 X larger but are folded which makes it harder to smooth out. the kilmat sheets are smaller but came in mint condition without creases. they say kilmat is thicker but i didn't see a difference just looking at them. i installed the dynamat quite easily (without a heat gun) even as a newbie. i used $6 metal snips from harbor frieght. i used a norco roller and thick plastic flattener (from mod podge). and if you are removing the vapor barrier butyl tape, 90% isopropyl alcohol or goo off managed to clean that black sticky stuff quite easily. bicycle tire tools worked better that trim tools to pop the clips to remove the door panels. it took 3 sheets of dynamat to cover the back doors and rear hatch (small car). it took 2.5 sheets to do the front doors. with just the doors covered (not the floor/roof), i noticed my music volume is maybe 3 steps lower (than before) on the freeway. was it worth spending $200? yes because i commute on the freeway everyday. i choose dynamat because it was heavier and maybe it takes more energy to vibrate. i really don't know whether weight or thickness is more important in reducing noise. hope that helps.

    • @snappyaj9053
      @snappyaj9053 Před 4 lety +2

      I’m no expert, just researching for myself but everything I’ve seen says the heat soak problem is inherent in any asphalt based product. The rest are butyl based and don’t readily transfer heat. This video and a few others say Kilmat is a good sound and heat barrier.

      Correct, the plain and “Rattletrap” lines are asphalt and apart from being heavy they smell and readily transfer heat but are cheap. They do have a “Mega Mat” line that’s butyl. KilMat is notes for being a heat barrier so that’s what I have in Texas.

      @johnterpack3940 Před 4 lety +5

      The bedliner will do the same job as these mats. All they do is dampen the vibration of the sheetmetal. No need wasting money on this stuff if you're going to spray in a liner.

    A lot of brochure reading and not much (any) testing. How about a sound meter to document the noise reduction with each product? Do all the products lend to adhering additional material to them? Also in your video there was a slide where you mentioned that you used something in the “passed”. I am sure you meant “past”. Might want to fix your typo.

    thank you for posting this. I am going to be converting a box truck and will not be in the box when driving so sound will only be an issue for privacy and comfort while camping. . I think my box is about 8X7X 14 so there is 318 sq feet of walls and roof.... if I covered it at 25% that would be about 75 sq ft. About $2 a sq ft makes $150.... probably worth it if there wasnt another way.... I have an almost unlimited free source of aluminum or mylar foil plastic bubble huge bags that are ,if opened into sheets , about 3 'by 6' and I think maybe sprayed or brushed contact cement would do same result for just a few bucks.... I am not thinking a fire is going to happen or if it did it would outgas any worse... If I am missing something please let me know. I would be doing heat insulation on top of it anyway..... and am more worried about moisture collection and rust but the box metal is aluminum so not likely to rust.... right?? Thanks for any comments ( besides how cheap can you get. I know that is a thing but I am living on social security and trying to save enough to leave the kids something more than I got.

    Go for Noico. You don't want asphalt based sound deadening in your vehicle. And if your worried about weight. Why are you sound deadening in the first place? I've done two entire cars. Best thing I can tell you is clean the panels well before installing the product.

Spent many years recording bands that I played in to bad I’m the last of the band. Sound board is 4’X 8’ X 1/2” thk hard board gray in color and is remarkable for recording studios and critical listening areas.

    I wanna go with the Killmat but I just LOVE the BLACK no label Appearance of the Noiko Mat... It looks VERY STEALTHY and Surely gives a CLEAN Factory Look... Of course nobody's Going to see it, but DEFINITELY for the Underside of some trunk lids ho with the Noiko Black because not all undersides of Factory Trunk lids have a carpeted or plastic trim...
    I was actually thinking about Rhino Lining the insides of my door skins, rear quarter panels and trunk lid, trunk, roof, etc 1st (Hercules was the best quality that was tested by Project Farm believe it or not), and then going with the 50 mill, as the perfect combination...
    Waiting for Killmat to make a Black NO label Clean look edition like the Niko Mat and ill be sold... Until then Ill have to use the Niko on the undersides of my trunk lid...
    Speaking of bed liner roll on type stuff... There is also the Rubberized Undercoatings... The Professional Industrial Rubberized Undercoating that KBS makes, and Professional Industrial Rubberized Undercoating that Rust-Oleum makes are BOTH VERY NICE!...
    Would you recommend that to apply in tight crevices that you can't get these Mat products into?
    I know I paint my inner fender wells with the KBS Rust Seal, then there Asphalt Roll on and spray on for Tight nooks and cranny crevices, then I finish off with a coat of either the KBS Rubberized Undercoating or go with The Rust-Oleum Rubberized Undercoating, as they both are fantastic! Never hear any rocks hitting inside the fender wells anymore as it dampenings them TO NON EXISTENCE IN NOISE! COMPLETELY CANCELS IT OUT!!! Alongside this combination on the Inner frame Rails and rocker panels where rocks like to kick up as well!
