What separates you (SS) from Sound Deadener Showdown? Both seems like quality products....I think it comes down to price at this point. People seem to like both companies.

Thanks for the replies guys. I really appreciate it. I would start with the back seat area since that is where the mufflers reside. What are the individual sheet sizes of the Damplifier Pro and Luxury Liner Pro? If I'm going to do this I might as well go all out on the better products. I looked at that Sound Deadener Showdown site....so Sound Deadener Showdown/Second Skin CLD Tiles = Damplifier CCF+MLV = Luxury Liner Pro They seem similar in products....but I could be wrong. I like the idea of SS and having the two materials bonded together as Luxury Liner Pro though. And if 25% coverage is so well known by people or is the right way to do it, why does everyone cover the whole car in constrained layer dampener type material?

Thanks a lot Tonedeaf and everyone else posting, that's the kind of info I want to read. And yes car audio and soundwaves etc are not as simple as most people think. I have made my own systems before in my cars (nothing crazy or even competitively) but a nice upgrade TO ME, but sound proofing is something I have never touched. My main goal is to quiet down the exhaust drone, if I get an increase in sound quality then that's just a bonus. But in the end sound is sound and vibration is vibration regardless if it's caused by exhaust pulses or subwoofer pulses. Anyone have links to tests that were well put together showing before and after results?

isn't the whole point of the damplifier type product to add mass and lower the resonant frequency of a panel?? So my immediate guess would be if peel and seal had the same density as damplifier, wouldn't it be close to the same?

New guy on here looking for some suggestions/opinions on sound deadener. Can anyone point me to some place to find out about it? I have a 03 Mach 1 and with the loud exhaust I have, I'm looking to quiet down the interior. I have talked to Second Skin (Max) and have realized the need and use for both Damplifier and Luxury Liner. I have been getting mixed opinions whether to just go with Peel and Seal as panel vibration reducer and Luxury Liner Pro for air born noise reducer... I have bene hearing about this site and thought it would be a good place to get some answer...Another thing is people have posted before and after results, but I don't know how credible they are. The conditions of the before and after test etc. I'm a mechanical engineer, so I understand the technical side of it which is why I'm looking for some credible tests done in a SOMEWHAT credible test. I have a $50 radio shack decibel reader. Even thought it may not be ACTUAL readings, I will use it for the after test so it WILL give me a difference in results. My concern is windows up, cruise set at 70mph. So that being said I put windows up, no AC no radio and cruise at 70mph....I was between 94dB A scale on flat road and 103dB at slight incline under load. A lot of drone. I don't have a way to test for the frequency since I don't have access to that equipment but I would assume it's on the lower end of the spectrum which is tougher to eliminate vs high frequency. Thanks a TON for any pointers/advice! Dean

I just used it tonight on my fender emblems on my 03 mach 1. Taped off a 4"x4" square around the emblem after cleaning it, then spray away. Once you're done just peel away and you're done. We will see how long it lasts. One guy did it to his exhaust tips which get toasty so I wonder how long it will last on there.
