Insulating heating and air conditioning ducts improves efficiency as it reduces vibration and noise

You got it. I picked it up at Lowes. I check Menards and Home Depot as they were closest to me, but the only one who carried it was Lowes. Its in the window and door insulation Isle. Its by frost king and comes in rolls 15'x 1'. Not sure what the item number is, but I can find it later if you want.

does it have a fiberglass material behind it. i went and looked at lowes the other day for this stuff and the only one i found was a shiny material with some sort of fiberglass padding on the back. i figured it could work but was wondering if that was the right stuff.

Im 6'1" 225 and just seeing you in that trunk makes me feel cloisterphobic.(spelling?) :unsure:

I fell asleep in a Neon trunk before. Passed out same difference...they gave me a bed pillow so its all good.

Awesome work Schimmel :thumbsup:

No, its not a fiberglass material behind it. Its more like a rubbery grey padding. I'll get the item number next time I get the chance.

Kudos to you for origionality in doing a mod in a cost-effective way, excellent Idea Schimmel, thanks for sharing. :thumbsup: B)

yeah that works. i wanna go ahead and start getting some work done on the car and the cheaper i can get it done, the better.

Schimmel03 · 03-24-2005, 09:55 AM

Hey everyone. Sorry for taking so long on the reply to this, but I've been getting moved into my new place, so I didn't want to go digging through all the boxes looking for the stuff. Anyhow, the part number is FV516. Its made by Frost King. Let me know if you guys need anymore help.

columbusaleroman87 · 03-24-2005, 11:42 AM

How did you get it to stick? I'm not familiar with the insulation so is one side adhesive or did you just tape it and how hard would you say the whole process is?

Thanks for the help and great job!

AGT · 03-24-2005, 02:29 PM

I would not tape insulation. I would silicon or hot glue. Prefer silicone for its sealing ability as well.

Schimmel03 · 03-25-2005, 12:08 AM

It has adhesive on one side of it. I found though that I had troubles getting it to stay stuck in some curves so I wound up using actual aluminum ducting tape. Its like regular duct tape only its actually an aluminum sheet. The whole process took about 5 hours and I'd rank it at about a 6 or 7, because you have to have patience. It is a SLOW process.

King Asoka · 03-25-2005, 12:42 PM

^how would you compare it to dynamat. If you can make that comparison...

mike2002 · 03-26-2005, 10:55 AM

you try heating it up? thats what helps dynamat stick

Schimmel03 · 03-26-2005, 11:31 AM

/\ Never tried that, but I suppose it probably could have worked. It has about the same qualities of dynamat, but its not as thick as dynamat. I never tried dynamat, but this stuff really cut out on the exterior noise and stopped A LOT of the trunk rattle. I still get little vibrations, but not much.

mike2002 · 03-26-2005, 12:22 PM

do you know the thickness? i just ordered some Edead, thats 45mm thick, but i got 60 sq so i can double it up where needed. they made a 70mm one, but this ended up being a better deal, it was $70 after shipping costs.

you might want to use a heat gun, or a powerful hairdryer. if it doesn't bond airtight to the metal, its not effective, so it may not be doing anything in the areas you had to tape it down

otherwise looks good, im doing my trunk to, to make the exhaust a little quiter and help seal up the trunk for the subs since there free-air mounted in the back dash.

AGT · 03-26-2005, 12:57 PM

45mm thick? 70mm thick?!>!! 45mm=1 3/4" thick. 70mm=2 3/4" thick.....I would say i am gonna use the thermwell based on cost and thickness. I dont need 2 inches of padding in my car.

that has some pics of it installed, im going to do the trunk floor and trunk walls to get rid of alot of exhaust drone (the drone isn't bad, but i can tell its comming only from that corner of the car)

that sites pretty good for info about where to put it too

Ahhh i see...I was saying...now 45 mil = 1.143 millimeter
70 mil = 1.778 millimeter

mike2002 · 03-26-2005, 01:48 PM

i looked up dynamat as a comparison, dynamat extreme is 1.7millmeters thick, so its 70mil. i could have gotten 70 mill from this place, but getting more 45mil ended up being cheaper. and this way i can use the 45mil everywhere, and double up in key area's.

dynamat is way overpriced. i used it when i could get 12 sq for 33 (xtreme), working at best buy, but thats still 2x more expensive than this
