A few years back in the great days of High School I replaced the interior of my car. Alot of the jute padding was damaged/moldy so it was thrown out. What resulted is a car with no sound insulation.

I've got the go-ahead from the wife to make this car quiet again. I'm thinking I need to replace the jute and thought about going with a paint-on sound deadener. Does any company offer the factory jute (or jute cut to fit the interior)? Doing some reading, it seems there are alot of options for paint-on sound-deadening. What I'm looking for here is mainly road-noise dampening along with heat insulation. The lack of insulation makes my car a bit warmer than it should.

Got advice? I'm all ears/eyes.

 

i heard that the 3m undercoater is suppose to deaden noise, im probaly going to spray my floorpans with the stuff this fall.

 

dynamat. used it in my 71 GMC, works excelent, and its easy to use.

 

Well, I read
Sound Deadener Showdown
and like their choice for Best Value - RAAMmat BXT. Seems like it will hold up well also. Anybody here use the stuff? How much footage should I look at ordering?

 

I am sure that you can get the original jute from billygrahamscamaro website. My car uses 2 layers of dynamat under the carpet and a product called b-quiet in the door panels. My bass can be slamming in the car but very little can be heard outside.

 

Well, I sent them an email. We'll see if they have any. I'm curious if YearOne would carry the jute.

Edit: Looks like they don't.

 

Not really sure at this time where you can get it (probably Home Depot or the like), but I currently use household foam rubber carpet underlayment as both an insulator and sound deadener. The stuff I use is used especially in wet areas (like a bathroom) and has a layer of plastic-like material on one side. It's not heavy, and is a little denser than the factory jute crap. I don't currently know how much it weighs compared to DynaMat, but I can say it works (except I don't have anywhere near enough to do the whole car with it and it NEEDS to have a lot of deadening material) .

 

I was thinking I would end up at a home supply place. I'm pretty sure about doing a layer of sound deadening and then getting the replacement jute like you suggested and just cutting it to fit. Otherwise I'm just buying used 20 year old jute...
