Best Way To Sound Deaden A Fox

[92GreenGT]

Nice title huh, lol. What's the best way to get one of these cars somewhat quiet on the inside? Been looking at some Lizardskin or dynamat, maybe a combination of both. Anyone have any experience with any form/type of sound deadeners installed in their fox? Results? Thanks

I noticed a difference when i put the mass backed carpet in my vert, but its a vert and there's not much you can do about noise in it. There was a guy on the HAMB selling some kind of sound deading mat that cost less than dynamat.

this is less expensive than dynomat and they produce good quality stuff.

Thanks for the link.

I was thinking of doing a spray plus a lay down material and maybe the mass backed carpet as well. Don't want to waste money though but want the car to be somewhat quieter than it is now. My idea is add all this sound reduction then I can add a cam, fair trade in my eyes, lol.

I can second raamMat. It's good stuff. Used it before and I'll probably use it again on the car.

Good info..i'm planning on putting some kind of sound deadening back in mine when i put carpet back in it.

Anymore?

For the ones who have used certain brands/types give us a little more detail on which product/type you used and how/where you used it. Thanks

I used the Proform 12x12 sound deadening sheets (similar to the dynamat). They worked well to reduce road noise. Must have added 15lbs of weight to the car though. Heavy buggers. The adhesive backing on them sucks...so plan on picking up some contact cement if you really want them to adhere.

I used fatmat, theres about 40 sq feet there, 100 sq feet cost me 230 bucks. pretty easy to install and it was a huge difference in sound and more importantly the car dosent radiate heat like it did before

Thats one rigid looking car man.

I used Stinger Road kill. pretty much exactly the same as Dynamat, except that 36 sq ft. cost me 95.00. So between the Fat mat and this Stinger stuff, the price is about the same. I went a little farther than 90 LX did w/ the product, (up the sides of the inner quarters to the headliner), and like his results, the noise level is so good inside the car you forget you're in a Mustang. Probably added 60+ lbs. but no regrets for my street car.

Here's mine:

Unlike 90 LX's car, my roll bar serves no structural purpose other than to hold my seatbelts though

Nice, thanks a lot guys. I plan on doing that as well! Anyone seen any info online about lizardskin and how it compares to the lay down type mats?

Did you guys use the special roller tool to make sure the sound deadening adhesive sticks down flat in all the crevices? Also, did you clean the floor at all before laying it down? Maybe some dawn dish soap and a good grease and wax remover? Thinking of sound deadening the '90 and curious too.
