Sound proofing

[stulane]

Hi Guys,

Right, got the m50 in and driving it about daily.

One problem is the amount of noise the engine makes through the bulkhead.

Whats everyone's best advice with sound proofing?

A mate suggested the roofing felt underlay that you put on with a blow torch.

The foam on the bonnet has been removed and some of the sound insulation around the firewall has also been removed and needs to be replaced.

I need a solution if anyone can help.

Thanks,
Stuart

You may have to do a bit of research on google.

I recall seeing some special soundproofing material supplied by a company in the US.

Can't you get a piece of the original material in from a scrapper? Didn't have any problems with the standard insulation fouling anywhere when I did mine.

I used dynamat in my old car (did bass competitions), the best stuff is dynamat xtreme, its very thin and does a very good job at sound proofing. Not sure how well it would cope with the heat from the engine though?
Its also quite expensive, Ԛ£30 a sheet or a bulk pack of 9 sheets costs about Ԛ£190 although im sure I found it for like Ԛ£130 on the web before.
