    The stuff is a must if you have a van. My van is now a quiet as any car I have driven. I tried several brands and Kilmat was by far the easiest to install.

    Replacement for 1968 Tornado under carpet. Good adhesive and coverage. Can’t address sound blocking as car is yet to be on the road due to rebuild.

    Seems like it works. Did not check with a meter before or after but I feel as if the difference is somewhat minimal. I decided to buy and install this stuff on a Class C RV cab because of the intense amount of road noise. I realize that an RV is a moving house on wheels and will make all kinds of noise, but I really couldnt have a conversation with my wife when driving without yelling or hear the radio. I found killmat and decided to tear everything out and install these mats on doors and floors. I already had heat/sound resistant material in the doghouse from a previous install and do NOT recommend using this stuff in that heat. Post install drive seems like it reduced noise about 15 to 20 percent. Enough to have a conversation without yelling. My wife and kids say that they can tell the difference but Im a little more critical of my work. I also swapped out the crappy ford speakers with better speakers and can hear the radio fairly clearly. The difference is NOT night and day...it is more like night and early morning. It works but this is still an RV. It may work better in a regular vehicle. Was it worth all of my sweat to install...yeah, I think so.

    1993 gmc yukon 2 door interior refresh project. 2 boxes of this product will get you the roof, side panels and 90% of the passenger cabin. Kilmat estimates 130 sqft for this project so they are pretty close. Ill buy another box to finish, then cover it with Noico 315mm closed cell foam sheets. This will be so much quieter and warmer in the Montana winters! Pointers: scrub the surfaces then go over with an alcohol rag then a tack cloth. Make sure its really clean. After laying down a sheet use a roller to really smash this stuff into the seams. No really, go over it again until all the little squares have been smoothed out. If you want, mommas rolling pin will work for the big areas. Next I suggest laying closed cell foam over the top. This will increase the sound deadening and help keep your car comfortable.

    2013 Toyota Tacoma I took the headliner down ,the doors apart and installed. It works great when it rains I dont feel like Im under a tin shed in Bali. It dont hear the highway noise while driving. Its a huge improvement for the price. The panels are easy peal and stick. I used scissors when I should have used a board and razor to cut. the adhesive built up on the scissors, I read alot of reviews Ive never used the other brands that are more expensive just this one, in the roof and doors and I think they work great. I did notice a little smell of adhesive the next day, but not the day after. They have held up fine even after 2 months of living on the sun in Az during this summer none of the adhesive has failed or smells. I pleased my other Tacoma buddies bought it also and they are pleased Im buying again to do the bottom. One big box has done the roof and 2 doors with one panel left . I doubled some areas here and there I might have had more. I also bought the up graded roller after reading reviews it kicked butt , in 2 months friends have borrowed it after I was testing subject they use it extensively, and got it back in fine Im pleased.

    Ive 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.

    Adheres well if you actually do it correctly. I double layered every large hollow hole and it turned out nice and sound. The door no longer shakes at a idle.

    For those looking for a good low-cost alternative to Dynamat, this is acceptable. I used both Dynamat and Kilmat on the same build. The Dynamat product was the Dynamat Xtreme. In contrast, the aluminum on the Kilmat is thinner and the butyl material smells A LOT like roofing felt... like EXACTLY like roofing felt -- definitely a bituminous odor. It is not overwhelming. I could only smell it with from about 2 away at normal temperatures By comparison the Dynamat Xtreme has ZERO odor. Nothing. The good thing about the Kilmat is that it sticks very quickly (used a heat gun to promote adhesion due to cooler outdoor temps but really did not need to) and the embossed aluminum makes it simple cut straight with one mark. Also, the packaging says it is made in the Russian Federation... so, those folks have a lot of experience silencing things so this will likely work very well. I just hope its not made out of Chernobyl chunks else my build will put a new meaning on the term radioactive.
