sound deadaning, will it help me? Options

[Valo666]

So, i love my car. I love being in it, being on just regular roadways, etc. But, only down side to having my exhaust done is, well...on the highway, I CANT HEAR A THING!!! So any ways, i can get sound deadaning mat from my work for a good price. If i line the trunk of my car with it, will it reduce the interior noise? I dont notice the sound as much where i sit, but further back, its rediculus.

wouldn't a better muffler be easier and require less effort?

A few of the guys in the UK have Blitz exhausts which are very loud at high revs, luckily they come with a baffler you can put it to make it quieter. A better muffler would probably be the best option but I am guessing that the sound deadening is cheaper than a new muffler? if it is then give it a go, it wont do any harm, I suspect you would need to do more than the boot (trunk) to get rid of it totally but that should make it a bit quieter. Are you sure the exhaust isn't blowing? it is strange that it is quieter if you sit further back??????

New muffler = maybe. Gotta find somethin thats gonna work with the way my system is rigged up, very limited space.

Silencer wont work. Style and size of my muffler.

I think just deadaning the trunk would work though. All of the rest of the car has the oem deadaning material already. Its just the trunk has nothing. Its just open metal. Im gonna look into gettin a new muffler though. I can get em pretty cheap from my work. But still...will it help??

You'd want insulation. Sound deading makes the panels heavier, so they don't resonate. They won't neccessarily stop noise from penetrating.
