Dynamatting for loud exhaust?
My exhaust is extremely loud from the inside of my Z (Injen SES Titanium) and I want to dynamat it to cut down on some of the noise. What exactly would work the best? Just doing the trunk or more?

You'll have to dynamat everything: floor, hatch, doors etc. Probably multiple layers. Hopefully someone will chime in who's done it. I did my hatch area and didn't really notice a difference.

I layered the entire trunk, floor and doors with three to four layers of Dynamat to cut down on the exhaust noise in my 2003 Cobra. It helped a ton (probably 30-40%). My roomate has headers and exhaust (loud) on his Z and has yet to try the Dynamat, but I know for a fact it would help out the noise a lot.

I found that the biggest difference came from dynamating the compartment right behind the driver's seat and passenger seats. More importantly, put in some foam of some type rather than dynamating. I also found that the spare tire area let in a ton of noise. Put in some foam around there and it will quiet up a bunch.

Anyone ever notice how quiet the environment is inside the G35/37?
Before anyone gets “all bent out of shape,” I will tell you that I have a 350z (which I really like). I only mention the Infiniti version since it is very quiet, but still delivers the great exhaust and engine sound.

ok... wow... this is a 350z... the exhaust is nothing less than beautiful and thrilling... when i know im about to floor it, i make sure my windows and top are down, as well as music off so i can hear my exhaust fully... it sends chills down my spine everytime...
i couldnt imagine why anyone would ever want to deaden the sound of his/her exhaust... im glad im a guy cause a chub i could deal with, if i was a chick im sure my leather wouldve been ruined by now... (if u dont get it than ur an idiot..)
i understand this forum is "how to deaden ur exhaust" and all... but i really have to know why would you ever want to!!! =[
this car was made to be driven... like really driven, and anyone who can appreciate that should also appreciates its exhaust... the voice of the car if you will...
all i gotta say is dont do it man... be proud wen ur duals roar.. be proud lol...

chortik, i know where you are coming from, but i would rather have a dead quiet ride, which i can roll the windows down to hear the fierce growl, rather than being subject to it (as well as road noise) the whole time. i didnt spend upwards of a thousand dollars on audio equipment to go to waste...
