New carpets - underfelt or Dynamat

[petegardner_901]

As per subject - is it worth spending extra on Dynamat under the new carpets or is it a waste - is underfelt just as good in a GT6...?

I usually get modern underfelt from any scrapyard. Sells for pennies if not free and is totally waterproof; the more 'luxury' car you source it from the thicker it usually is and the better for soundproofing. Many scrappies just throw it in their skips so you can sort through for the big bits that can then be cut to size.

Great tip! Although I've already shelled out on some Dynamat and have it in my garage waiting to be installed...

Old style underfelt is a menace - it holds water and if dry is very flammable. Modern stuff is more effective and as Colin says can be free..
