dynamat substitute? - Honda Prelude Forum

jsmooney · 10-03-2005, 09:50 AM

okay, i need some sound insulation for the car. the best thing would be dynamat, but i dont want to spend that much money. is there something comparable that i can get a home depot or something that would do almost the same?

thanks,
jonathan

Try eDeadBA for coupon code too, although I am not sure if it still works.

ive used fatmat that i purchased off ebay. works fine for me and alot cheaper too

I've used Fatmat too, and it uses an adhesive that doesn't stick as well as materials that just use their natural adhesive property. Also the adhesive smells, so I wouldn't use it anywhere but in the trunk.

I used fatmat on my trunk, and it peeled off during the summer. I replaced with with Dynamat afterwards.

I used eDead v.1.SE to do the doors on my Z. I used Dynamat Extreme on the Prelude for the doors, trunk and trunk lid. They are very similar as far as physical appearance goes. Although I am not sure about the technical properties, eDead is significantly cheaper.

does anyone have a how to install dynamat for a 5th gen? seen it somewhere on this board but cant find it now

No different than any other car - pull out the interior, and apply it to any big metal surface that could vibrate/resonate.

For those looking for cheaper/better alternateives than dynamat, check out www.b-quiet.com.

Tis enough. I bought 50 as well, and I have well over 20 left. I only did the trunk floor, sides, lid, and part of the door only though.

hustler904 · 10-15-2005, 07:07 PM

cool,i appreciate it,i think i'll take whats left and do the roof,now i just gotta see when its coming,sucks they didnt give me a tracking number

Hey, just go to your local Home Depot, or Lowes, or RONA (Canada), in the roofing aisle there are rolls of this stuff for sale. It's really cheap. $30 for a 20 or 30 sqft roll. It's a little thinner than dynamat, but works perfectly. Theyre ues as leak, or roofing sealants.
