> 24 hourThis product is very easy to install and adheres very well. My car has about 1/2 the road noise it did before. Its also one of the least expensive products that actually does what it says. Very happy with the purchase.

> 24 hourInstalled in a 2021 Dodge Challenger and has helped with rattles and hollow sounds from all locations in the car. Easy to install. Make sure you measure several times and cut once. Save all your scraps they will come in handy for those hard to reach locations.

> 24 hourHonestly works better than expected, adheres good once you use the correct roller. For better sound deadening you will want to double it up but 1 box gives you quite a bit. Thanks!

> 24 hourI almost went the poor mans way and bought Frost King Foam Duct Insulation, but then I saw this Kilmat sound deadening was about the same price as the Duct Insulation. Using prime, I ordered and received the package the same day. I found it was easier to work with this material with my bare hands as using gloves the adhesive stuck to the gloves making it difficult to install - once I took the gloves off it was much easier to work with the material. I also found it to be easier to use a good pair of scissors instead of a straight edge razor - the material is thin enough to use scissors. It was a cold day outside and when the temp dropped below about 42 degrees the kilmat material became much harder, so recommend installing on a day between 50-70 degrees outside. Also, the foil liner wasnt too sharp, I didnt have to worry too much about cutting myself using my bare hands. As far as it doing its job as a sound deadening material? I installed these in a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I can definitely tell a difference on the road noise, especially on the highway. Its probably a good 25% quieter, if not more. My doors feel heaver, have a nice THUNK when I shut them, and sound solid when I tap the doors with my knuckles. I replaced my speakers in my doors at the same time and I am very happy with the results - no rattles and great sound. I did two layers - one on the outside panel and one on the inside panel - maybe overkill, but I received 50 square feet, which was enough to do all four of my doors doing double layers. This is A+ material.

> 24 hourGood quality, pricing is great. Will use on my classic truck interior to help out with the tin can sound when closing the doors.

> 24 hourI used this in conjunction with egg crate foam material. This inexpensive box went a long way for my Crosstrek project. The car had ridiculous amounts of road noise, could barely hear voices on the stereo. I good roller helps for application. You can cut this stuff to fit anywhere you can reach. I used the egg shell for harder to reach areas. I only applied the mat to metal as it was the sturdiest part of the car. If you ever have to take this stuff off its going to be one hell of a mess. Sticky tar/rubber base but the foil keeps it covered. I also made some non stick pads for the floor mats that work well. While I didnt take measurements with a db meter I did only do my four doors first and kept hearing weird car noises....I didnt do the hatchback. When I did that and added the floor mats my car was as quiet as could be. No ear fatigue from road noise and my stereo sounds great(with some other tweaks). This is subjective but I find that every toyota Ive owned has a pretty quite interior. My Crosstrek is now on the level and maybe a bit better than that. I can listen to the radio at a low volume and still hear.

> 24 hourIt is easy to handle, easy to cut, easy to apply just over all easy. The hardest part is probably the assembly and reassembly of your vehicle. I used this for my 2022 Nissan Altima.

> 24 hourIve built motors, done extensive bodywork and made all kinds of modifications to vehicles. Sound deadening is by far my favorite. The install isnt fun by metric. First, uninstall your entire interior. Clean the inside of every panel with isopropyl alcohol. Grab a rolling pin (they make specific tools for this), cut your acoustic mat and be prepared to spend the next 8 hours in a sweaty and cramped position. Cover every square inch you can- it really does make a difference. Put in the hours here, and enjoy it for the rest of your vehicles ownership. Not only does this make your ride quieter, but it feels more luxurious, too, since the deadening material has the additional effect of quieting down interior trim rattles. My old Ford Ranger is now quieter on the highway than my BMW 5 series (seriously!). The 50mil Kilmat is not the thickest option, but it is an outstanding value when Dynamat will sell you the same basic product (foil-layered tar) for twice the price.
