best sound deadner, sick of all the noise
looking for some deadner to remove all the noise. I have a fairly loud exhaust and some gear whine at certain speeds, both of which get pretty annoying on long drives, doesn't seem like the stock deadner works very well, plus all the noise from the trunk just moves right into the cabin. Is there anything that can substancially remove these noises, I don't care if I add 100 pounds, I want happy driving!

Check out the dampers, but if you wanna get extreme look to the composites.

well I bought a 10 bolt of of the paper with 4.10s, lower control arm relocation brakets and aluminum cover/girdle with studs. I figure after I sell my stock rear with 3.42s, it'll be like I got the gears for free, since I planned on buying the other parts anyway, I figured on taking a chance on buying used. The whines not to bad, just at a couple of different speeds at real light throttle, which the radio covers up, but I don't always have the radio on, so it becomes annoying. it sounds like its comes more from the driveshaft, which gets a good vibration around 75, I don't know if this would cause noise? As for the exhaust its duals, which is quiet, until I take off the tailpipes that exsit to the sides, this brings a heavy drone that'll knock you out of your seat, plus it sounds as loud as the subwoofer. Normally I have the tail pipes on, but I like them off since the car seems to have more power and throttle response. The pipes bend past 90 degrees, so it really slows the exhaust down. I really want best of both worlds, quiet for normal driving and loud for full throttle.

Personally.....
I've used a few types of the sheet style.... and none of them come to par with the spray-on stuff.... I just use 3M ruberized undercoating... and it works better than any of the sheet "dynamat" that I've used. It takes a little more prep-work, but works a alot better....

Hey thanks for all the input so far guys, its helping. I find it funny the spray on stuff is mentioned as I wanted to do both the spray and layered stuff. I was straying from it cause I didn't think it would have the same materials like lead barriers, so I didn't think it would work well. Which would be better, the inside spray or outside. I don't want my undercarage to look messy, do they make a paint on type, that I can brush thick layer on, or will the spray look decent. If used it will be on thick. That and the layered stuff should make my car dead quiet.

I use it on the inside.. underneath the carpet... the hardest part is masking everything off... you basically have to mask everything you don't want painted... and then just spray it on.... how thick you put it on is up to you... it's just a matter of how many coats you put on... I just got done doing about 2 full coats on my car and it sounds just as good if not better than a single layer of generic dynamat.
I did the trunk of my GF's Jetta and we did about 3 coats in there with similar results.
