dynamat project pics
Here's some before and after pics of dynamat work for your viewing pleasure.
She gained like 60lbs from the materials, but it has gotten very quiet, especially when the cut-out is open. I leave it open most all the time now,...mainly b/c I am less concious of how obnoxious I sound at idle or at WOT

I was somewhat concerned about the weight, but the results were worth it, I will be doing the doors in the comings week as well.
Dynamat is rather exspensive, but I got a sweet deal from my local perfromance shop...it was around 230dollars for 7 very large sheet that covered the entire trunk and floor pan all the way to the fire wall.

I noticed better response from the speakers (stock), reduced road noise, reduced engine noise and the cut-out is almost "bearable" under load as it is unbelievably loud in general.
I dont have to turn the stereo up very loud when a movie is playing on the in dash screen (again, stock speakers).
All in all, I am pretty satisfied thus far, I anticipate it will be even better as I return all the interior parts back to their spots.

Its quiet, I guess we're talking performance evo quiet
If you're looking for lexus quiet, you may want to buy a lexus
example - The performance shop that I frequent has a shop evo that is loud and has monster hp, I went for a ride in it with same dynamat setup as mine plus the doors...it was pretty quiet and felt smooth with less rattles. You could even tell by the way the doors open and close...it just feels more solid.

That's because sound deadening isn't meant to cut down on noise. It is designed to decrease panel resonance. Products like MLV (mass-loaded vinyl) are much better suited for the task. Almost every time I see one of these threads, I post a link explaining the concept, as well as the process, along with a series of comments. No one bothers to search.
