KILMAT 80 mil 36 sqft Car Sound Deadening Mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening

My truck is just about as noisey as they come, while I wasnt jumping for joy to do the actual job of installing these, ill tell ya - pretty big difference. After the install i remember my first drive thinking whats wrong with my truck? it sounds... weird - what was weird was that it was quiet! Installing these is a labor of love. Find a nice fair weather day, some shade and put on some tunes and just get it done, if your car is noisy this is your solution. It goes on easy and has so far (1 year+) held up great, I have had to remove my door panels to install new mirrors and took a peek inside and its all held up the same as the day I put it on. I ended up doing nearly my whole SUV, interior, firewall, all 4 doors, the back bed/trunk. Made a huge difference, would do it all over again if I had to. 5/5

8 mil thickness (same as dynamat), super sticky adhesive side, easy to cut and shape. Covered the inside roof of my 56 Chev. I used a short, hard urethane roller and a medium firm long-handled roller to roll it out. Its a bit of work to roll it out over head, but it sure is good when its done. A noticeable difference in cabin temperature and noise. I will be buying more for the floor and doors. Great product and a great price.

Before purchasing, I researched several manufacturers of Sound Deadening material. I drive a truck with off-road tires and enjoy quality sound from my radio without road noise interference. All of the leading manufacturers of sound deadening material use butyl rubber in various thicknesses. I bought the .80 ml thickness from Kilmat because of the positive reviews and the price. I installed the Kilmat material in all four doors and on the back firewall. While I don’t have a decibel meter to provide firm data, the decrease in road and tire noise after installation was noticeable and, in fact, I would say surprising and significant. I definitely enjoy driving on the highway more in a quiet vehicle. My guess is that it decreased road noise level by 30% or perhaps more. The key is to buy enough material to line the “inside” metal skin of your “outer” door as shown in the photos. In summary, the purchase was well worth the effort and cost.

Get the roller!!!! Makes a huge difference in the way it adheres

I am in the midst of upgrading the audio system in my (new to me) 2009 Acura RDX. Six of the ten factory installed speakers had seen better days. The voice coils were shot in several of them found in the driver and passenger, front and back doors. There is a lot of great information available on you tube videos on steps to take to improve the sound quality of your auto sound system. Of course, replacing the speakers with some quality aftermarket models is an obvious first choice. I learned that another item to consider is Kilmat Car Sound Deadening Mat, available in 80mil and 50mil thickness. The thicker the better is good to consider installing when possible. Cut out paper templates of the various shapes and sizes of the mat for good fitment. Disposable surgical trauma scissors do a good job of cutting the mat to desired size. Be sure to also purchase the 3-pack of installation rollers. It is important to roll over the mat with the rollers to ensure proper adhesion of the sound deadening sheets to the metal door panels. Kilmats waffled aluminum top sheep product design easy shows where the mats have been rolled. The installed mats do add some weight to the vehicle. However, the marked decrease in sound reasonance is a welcome trade-off. Even installing mat to ~25% of the door panel will result in considerable sound deadening.

I love this product

Ive been aware of products like this, but never personally used any of them... Until now. This in combination with the Noico 315 Red did great things for a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd SLT. I covered the inside of all four of my doors with a layer of Kilmat 80 plus a layer of the Noico 315 insulation covering that. The interior side of all doors were completely covered with Kilmat 80, then finally the door panel got a layer of Kilmat 50 over about 60% of its surface. The roof and back wall got a layer of Kilmat 80 plus a layer of Noico 315. I live in the desert and highs in the 110s are a given during the summer. I know these products have improved the cabin environment substantially. Nothing but the sun blasting bare metal then various trim panels on that metal was stock fare in my truck. Im guessing a 10 to 15 degree decrease over stock. Right after I finished the doors I was waiting at a stop light. A trash truck was backing up about 100 away from me. Everyone knows the piercing backup warning beeper. That tone was muffled quite a bit. I havent done the firewall or floor yet. That can wait until the weather cools. My Focal Flax 6.5 components have always been enjoyable, but they sound much more lively than before. The sound system performance has been improved on every level. Highs, lows, mids...everything is better. Doors have a solid feel when closing now. These products are a system multiplier when used correctly. I believe its important as upgrading the various components in any system. A couple other things, I had zero issues with adhesion. This stuff sticks on a 100 degree day just fine! As far as odor. Yes there is a mild tar smell during installation. It dissipates after a couple days. A small, temporary price to pay, for the overall benefits.

The price is right and its easy to apply once youve gained access to the place you want to install. Cuts easily with house hold scissors. The more you apply to a panel the better it works. You need at least 25% of the open panel to be effective. My goal was a minimum of 60% and it worked nicely and finished with some close cell foam in the rest of the panel. I did 100% of my spare tire well in the trunk. Now I hardly hear anything from the area. It can be a little addictive once youve discovered how and where it works best. I plan to do the entire floor (2nd greatest source of noise intrusion into the car) and then the roof panel (pain in the arse) to close out the project. Total cost estimate will be just over $350 to complete a 2012 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid. Keep in mind I require a lot more material for this car as it has the very minimum installed to reduce weight. Ill be introducing 85 lbs of material and a full size space and tool kit (additional 20 lbs) to this hybrid vehicle and it will effect the mpg. The car is usually empty during daily 80 mile city/highway commuting and averages approximately 38 mpg with the eco turned mode off.

Worked pretty well for quieting my car down. It’s easy to cut to size and to apply, and I didn’t notice any smell. Id say I went for about 60% coverage and ended up using about 1.5 of the 3 boxes I ordered.

If you have ever had a rattle trap fbody, you understand that the road noise is horrific, and theres alot of squeaks . In an effort to make the car more enjoyable on a highway drive, I figured Id try it out. I got way more product than I had figured I would get so thats a plus. The key is to hit the main areas of noise, not every single square inch. Thats just added weight with no real benefit. It did help the road noise a good bit and I still have like 6 sheets left to install in my trunk pan. I took the car on a 1600 mile trip shortly after and enjoyed it so much. Buy the $10 rolly tool they recommend, its very worth it, and wear gloves. That foil is sharp! Ill be ordering some more in the future for my door skins and up in the headliner area.
