Glad to see this, but man is it bad timing for me.

Hmmmm I may be interested in this. What all do you suggest for my reg cab? Just the basic?

[Black Silverado]

Looks like the basic may do it for Regular Cabs, I think I may go with that myself.

Yup try the basic, you will be more than suprised at how quiet your truck becomes after the installation of this stuff, the chit is great!

I'm definitely in on this. What's the deal with the foam? I havent seen that before. How much different will it be to go with or without the foam? Where does the foam go?

The foam goes over the deadener. Its serves an entirely different purpose than the deadener, and because of this, it yields far better results when used in unison with the matting. The matting is used to help control vibrational issues, like a panel rattling from the lower frequency notes (bass). Its a type of mass loading which helps cut down the vibrations. Now the foam, sinces its closed cell structured, it helps reduce unwanted road noise. Its not sound absorber, but rather sound blocker. Its nice and thin and easy to install, but you need adhesive to do so since it does not have an adhesive backing like the matting does. Now you can see why the combo is much more effective than the matting alone.You will see some guys using like 8 layers of matting thinking they are doing more good than say 2 layers...when in fact its a waste. 1 or 2 layers of matte with 1 layer of Ensolite over that will yield better results.

[denmason]

Sorry if I missed it but is rammatt an asphalt based product?
How does it do on the roof and does it "run" when heated?

are there issues with carpeting laying flat after install? Or panels not fitting because now the mounting surface is 'thicker'?

I'm debating doing the vehicle below but never saw any of this stuff 'in action' so don't know what to expect.

[DjLunchbox]

i am very intrested in this, possiblily for both trucks do you think htat foam will help keep the exhaust noise down if i double that up on the floor as well as the mat?

[nebraskaz71]

Ive got some of all of this stuff and I can say i've only done front doors and front floor pans and I could notice a diff. Lil off topic but I've got a ton of foam laying here yet.... would it do anything to lay that over the matting I have on front floor pans?

[DSZ71]

RAAm Mat is a butyl based deadener. The closed cell foam will definately improve your sound deadening. As long as you only use 1 or 2 layers of matting and 1 layer of the foam, its not an issure to get the panels back on. Now that doesnt mean to go overboard and use a chit load of layers, you will be fine. I would not hesitate to get this product in your ride, and especially since you are planning on running those RE xxxs back there...

The deadener in my truck is about 3/4" thick. I have no problems.
