Give me your knowledge- Deadener Question


Recommended Posts

I have a small MK4 GTI hatchback and I have a few questions

1. What would you guys consider to be a good amount to purchase? What mil thickness? I plan to do the whole car.

2. Would fatmat work fine? I cant mentally justify spending ludacris amounts of money on the name-brand.

3. Does it increase SPL?

4. And my final question- should I also use foam and other materials? and if so, where would you recommend?

Thank you guys, I'm sorry for all the questions but you are all geniuses so :)

I'll try to answer some of those questions, fatmat will work fine, I've had many friends put it on, no real complaints. They're still in business for a reason. Spl wise, my goodness, if you even are thinking about being a hardcore competitor, you need to meter as you put it on. I did my hatch, roof, sides, lost almost 2 dbs, was so mad.

And the foam, I've heard if you get a water leak underneath the foam, it can definitely cause some rust issues.
