If the road noise and over-all lack of insulation of your C5 Corvette is driving you nuts and are looking for a more premium feel this is a must! For roughly $60 and a weekend of your time transform the entire feel of your Vette! This mod adds approximately 20lbs and for me it is totally worth it. Feel free to ask questions!

Wow, really nice and detailed installation. Glad it changed the interior sound. I really want to get rid of the interior heat more than noise. Your project should have solved both!

@GarettHarnish Год назад

The better option is underneath in the trans tunnel using a heat shield like Design Engineering's one.

I just commented on your part 2 post, I used that Dynamat about 15 years ago when I owned a 1992 NSX. I gutted the whole interior and did the same thing. Curious why did you use the layer or 2 of foam on top of the Dynamat ? Nice job, I enjoyed that kind of work. Definitely made a big difference in the sound insulation on that NSX and definitely a low budget fix

@BrianWesolowski Год назад

This is great (I know, I’m late to the party). How does it react in hot summers? Any noticeable difference in cabin temperatures?

@dylan2956 Год назад

Looking into doing this soon if you still recommend. How many rolls of peel & seal did you end up needing? & Same with the foam

@VetOnVettes Год назад

Hey man. Trying to think. Im pretty sure 2 rolls of each. Both found at Lowes.

Did your exhaust have drone prior? Did this help with any drone as well?

Seems good The video sound quality while driving sounds better

Great subject, for me. Because I am partially deaf I need to have my C5 coupe quiet, so I can carry on coversations with my passengers. I have already removed the Magnaflow mufflers the previous owner installed and replaced them with stock mufflers (keeping the Magnaflow Xpipe). This helped but I still have more tire noise than I want. I'm sure that your approach will meet my needs. Thanks.

Thank you for a greatvideo

@raphaelness1239 Год назад

Are you still happy that you used that product and would you do it the same again?

@VetOnVettes Год назад

Very happy. Still intact. No smell. Great dampening.

looks like a process called friction welding.

@speedfiend925 3 года назад

LOL! I have owned both C5 Coupes and a C5 Z06. One of the main benefits buying a Z06 (for me at least) was the removal of all the excess weight which gives the Z06 a much more visceral driving experience. Yes it is much noisier but that is kind of the point. If you want the closest thing to a race car in a C5 you get a Z06. If you want something closer to a Cadillac you buy a Coupe.

@michaelpetersen6863 3 года назад

What exactly did you get I'm about to do this to my Z06! Please and thank you!

@dylanhughes964 Год назад

Hey brother! Just got my headers done. Love they way they sound but the drive train noise, and sewing machine sound when I accelerate drives me nuts. I keep stumbling on your videos for sound damping. Would you still recommend header wrap/sound damping to solve that issue? I know it’s been some time since these were posted so, wondering if you still feel the same/recommend?

@VetOnVettes Год назад

Hey man. The header wrap took about 85% of the noise away. You CAN wrap them on the car.. tricky but doable. If possible take them out and throw them back in. All of the interior sound dampening is incredible.

@dylanhughes964 Год назад

@@VetOnVettes Thank you, brother! I wish I was better equipped to take them off or had wrapped them prior, lesson learned. I may have to just slowly and steadily wrap with them on. If you’re pleased with the wrap you used I’ll give that a go!

@JS-pe9xk Год назад

@VetOnVettes757 quick shout out to let you know I picked up an 01 Z06 two weeks ago and your channel convinced me to buy one. Already has cam and headers and the sewing machine sound kills me. I'm 1/2 way through my joying install and wondering if you think some insulation at the back if the cage behind the radio and hvac controls would help.

@nonenope6091 11 месяцев назад

I did this too my other car to reduce ground noise and make the stereo pop and it does, but I have a c5 and I’m not sure how this will go good luck.

@tcolesen 2 года назад

Now that you've been through multiple seasons, have you (or anyone else) noticed any odor? Just curious if the Peel & Seal material might have offgassed from warmer weather. Thanks for the video, BTW!

@ChrisTheMobileMechanic Год назад

So roughly 22lbs +/- in weight added doing this. Not to bad for the end results

@@VetOnVettes hey man you don't show it but did you use the white foam on the back area and down in the sunken floor? You don't show it in the vid. I've done the whole car with the flashing and the area around the center console and drivers passenger seat in the foam.. All those lines, bumps were a real pain in the d*ck with the flashing. I'm so sore from climbing all around, through over this thing. If you did the foam did you manage to form it around all those bumps and troughs? Or did you just lay it on top and glue it?

I imagine this'll also help maintain cabin temperature as well, which I very much need. My corvette's ac struggles with the Virginia summer heat. I don't have a big budget, so I'll see how this works!
