KILMAT 50 mil 50 sqft Car Sound Deadening Mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening

2001 GMC Yukon XL is like a big noise tube. I had an aftermarket exhaust installed and at certain engine rpms the harmonics that went through the exhaust was amplified inside of the vehicle so much that it was almost painful to the ears. And if anyone was sitting in the third row seating, forget about talking to them. I was skeptical about how well this would work but, on a whim, I decided to try this, as I was pulling the seats and carpet to clean them anyway. There is a 5 piece rolling tool installation kit that is also available, but I dint purchase it and had no problem with installation. In fact, I found that by wearing a pair of mechanics gloves (fabric, NOT NITRLE OR LATEX) it made it easy to really push the matting into small crevasses and around curves. I did have a laminate roller that is about 4 wide, and I did use that on some larger areas, but found myself defaulting to using the gloves instead. No doubt the rolling tools would have helped but I dont think you need them to have a successful installation. On the instructions, it says that you should roll out the matting until all of the waffle pattern is gone; but I pushed and rolled and pushed and rolled and was almost never able to completely eliminate the waffle. At the end of the day though, I feel like I got it installed successfuly. The mat is easy to cut with scissors or a utility knife. The backing is very sticky and once its down, dont even think of trying to pull it up. (NOTE: the day I installed it, it was in the low 90s so Im sure that helped with the adhesion). After installing, I took the vehicle for a test drive and was shocked how much quieter the vehicle was. It is still a little noisy, but soooo much better. At least now I can talk to someone sitting in the third row, while driving. I only have two regrets. 1) I should have bought another box. The 50 sq/ft box I got only covered around 85% of the floor. 2) I should have bought the 80mil matting instead of the 50mil as Im sure that would have made an even bigger difference.

Girlfriend and are I doing a mild camper build in our 06 E350. Were not going to really be living in it and most trips will just be 1-3 day ventures or for concerts. I also have everything easily removable so I can still use it to haul stuff. With all that I couldnt really be bothered for the 80mil for the large price difference. This does a great job. Its also incredibly easy to work with to cut around corners. We also used it to go over holes in the sheet metal on the sides after we packed them with insulation. The floor in the van has the kilmat down first then furring strips to balance the ribs with the foam board insulation then the plywood base to vinyl. With so much else going on top - the 50mil is the perfect thickness in my opinion for a van floor if thats your purpose with it. If you have the extra money and are super concerned with outside noise then Im sure the 80mil is just as nice to work with.

Covered a truck floor and back wall. Went on easy and made a noticeable difference in interior noise when knocking on panels. Project isnt drivable yet, so I cant comment on driving noise. Happy so far

It is easy to handle, easy to cut, easy to apply just over all easy. The hardest part is probably the assembly and reassembly of your vehicle. I used this for my 2022 Nissan Altima.

I really like this product, it was super easy to lay out and trim to fit pieces where full sheets wouldnt fit. I could of taken more time and fit it a Bit better but in less than 30 minutes I did the entire floor of a 06 crew cab gmc 2500hd. I have not driven yet for noise test but just tapping on the floor you can instantly tell it will be helpful. My factory mass backing had water damage so I liked this for noise reduction and getting rid of the padding.

does as it should

2006 Dodge Charger Trunk Easy to install with the self adhesive. Use a roller to make sure its applied correctly. Live in Hawaii where its 85⁰ out. Went on easy, easy to cut, trim and mold around all the joints. Sound test after and the obnoxious rattle from the sub is gone. Used 1 box of the 50 sq ft 50mm Kilmat, completely covered the Trunk and 2 or 3 layers in trouble spots. Definitely going to be ordering more.

Great product! Like the results

For those looking for a good low-cost alternative to Dynamat, this is acceptable. I used both Dynamat and Kilmat on the same build. The Dynamat product was the Dynamat Xtreme. In contrast, the aluminum on the Kilmat is thinner and the butyl material smells A LOT like roofing felt... like EXACTLY like roofing felt -- definitely a bituminous odor. It is not overwhelming. I could only smell it with from about 2 away at normal temperatures By comparison the Dynamat Xtreme has ZERO odor. Nothing. The good thing about the Kilmat is that it sticks very quickly (used a heat gun to promote adhesion due to cooler outdoor temps but really did not need to) and the embossed aluminum makes it simple cut straight with one mark. Also, the packaging says it is made in the Russian Federation... so, those folks have a lot of experience silencing things so this will likely work very well. I just hope its not made out of Chernobyl chunks else my build will put a new meaning on the term radioactive.

Works well, within its limitations. Its not going to turn your 90s tin can car into a modern lexus, but it was a pleasant change in my 2012 Miata, making everything sound more solid, the stereo sounds better, and marginally less road noise. Make sure to get the application roller tool, as its essential for proper application. One note, you dont need to entirely cover panels. One sheet or a large square on a panel will work 90% as well as covering the whole panel. The purpose of this is to dampen vibrations. It is not sound deadening mat, despite being labeled as such. For proper sound deadening you need something to isolate the sound. This is usually closed cell foam, or something like carpet padding.
