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]

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

[@Johnoines]

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.

[@mikestevens6587]

You did a fantastic job, I think I’ll try to hire my body shop to do my loud c7

[@speedfiend925]

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.

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

[@fernyg.4223]

Seems good The video sound quality while driving sounds better

[@BrianWesolowski]

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

[@JerryPH]

Amazon part #'s or links to the exact products used? Thanks!

[@tcolesen]

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!

[@dylan2956]

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]

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

[@dylan2956]

@@VetOnVettes awesome, thanks man. Loving the C5 content!

[@i3oosted]

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

[@GGas700]

Nice,nice,,great idea ,, BTW ,,where did u get that awesome Steering Wheel ?

[@dylanhughes964]

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]

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]

@@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]

​@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.

[@stikxs]

Did you notice the extra flashing around the tunnel helping to reduce heat coming in there?

[@raphaelness1239]

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

[@VetOnVettes]

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

[@HandSolo1]

You have a lovely kitchen.

[@VetOnVettes]

Thanks man. I forgot I used to film my intros in There.

[@HandSolo1]

@@VetOnVettes just throw us off one day and start an intro while preparing a standing rib roast. 🤘🏻

[@jacobsantana603]

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!

[@mikestevens6587]

Thank you for a greatvideo

[@user-hq6dl2lc1w]

great idea . where o where did you get that steering wheel?

[@nonenope6091]

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.

[@angelchavira31]

Did you have any fitment issues piecing all the panels back together?

[@41bigdawg1]

Nice work, sounds great 👍

[@jcsmith725]

Wife and I drove down to COTA in Austin back in November. It was the first time she really spent in my Z06 and she hated it because it was so loud.I think I will be doing this exact thing! Thank you! Can you share a link to the flashing you used?

[@jcsmith725]

Found it on Lowes for those interested... www.lowes.com/pd/Peel-Seal-Instant-Waterproof-Repairs-6-in-x-25-ft-Aluminum-Roll-Flashing/1018733

[@jcsmith725]

@VetOnVettes757 is this the foam liner you used? Looks like it, but I want to make sure.. www.lowes.com/pd/Duck-Solid-Grip-Easy-Liner-20-in-x-12-ft-White-Shelf-Liner/3137751

[@VetOnVettes]

Both links are correct! Glad I could help man. 🤙👍

[@jcsmith725]

@@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?

[@Axel-lb9gi]

@@jcsmith725 Thanks!

[@ChrisTheMobileMechanic]

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

[@michaelpetersen6863]

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

[@artart7943]

peal and seal flashing try frost king duct wrap.

[@benjaminkamben4908]

What type of foam are you using?

[@sspp3065]

looks like a process called friction welding.

[@jesset1234]

I'm doing this to my vette thi weekend. The headliner is out, any issues putting it under there?

[@lgl3403]

Can you provide Links to products used?

[@SVfighter1]

How many matériel was used quantities?

[@murfenator82]

What is the foam you used?

[@VetOnVettes]

It was a generic roll of foam I got at Lowe's in the shelving/cabinet section.
