c6 sound deadening

[@Morris1974]

I've used it on my 2011 C6 GS it works great. But what I did was add a strip or block of the heavy asphalt sound deadener is some of the problem areas that were prone to vibrations (ie behind the seat metal panels and in the hatch area (ie muffler area, heat and vibration). I then covered it all with the Frost King material which offered sound deadening and heat control. This made the console area cooler. Overall the leg and the console storage area was noticably cooler.

Another really helpful video. My 2011 C6 has this in its future. I would love to see a video of a ride since you have installed the sound deadening. If you already have one would you let me know?

[@maintainersgarage]

I sold the car, so no after video sorry!

[@TheDebtProfessor]

Yeah, these are very satisfying jobs. I am currently adding sound deadening to the inside of my '02 C5 coupe. For the doors, I applied a layer of FatMat MegaMat to the shell of the door (where you used Frost King), then on top of that applied a layer of neoprene. I also have the VetteNuts sound insulation kit and plan to use most of it. On the rear wall behind the seats, I'm going with FatMat and neoprene. Around the tunnel due to the heat, the VN stuff, although maybe I should look at the FK stuff since it is sticky. VN kit you have to tape down with foil tape. The trunk area is mostly the VN kit (it looks like the inside of a NASA rocket LOL) with the addition of FatMat and neoprene over the wheel tubs.

That's a lot of sound deadener!! Good luck!

I wish I had known about this stuff when I put sound deadening in my 02 WS6 Trans Am!

[@maintainersgarage]

JimBob, like most things I do, late and no longer helpful is at the top of that list!

Great video!👍🏼

[@maintainersgarage]

Thank you!

[@sabio2009]

Can’t find your follow up regarding how effective your sound deadening worked out.

[@maintainersgarage]

It worked out well!

[@brosiferous]

Thanks for making this vid. About how many rolls of the FK did you use?

[@maintainersgarage]

2.5 i think

[@arjanoussoren2035]

Hi, nice vid! Im planning to do this with my C6 convertible, and want to use the Frost King. But do they make it these days as you know off? Thank, Arjan

[@maintainersgarage]

I saw it Lowes about 2 months ago, so I think so

[@arjanoussoren2035]

Ok, Thnx. Im in Europa, gonna see if they can arrange it for me

[@maintainersgarage]

@@arjanoussoren2035 honestly i think any hvac duct insulation would work, i just have had good luck qith the frostking adhesive staying down that is why i like it

[@mikewalker2590]

Make sure not to plug the drain holes in the doors!

[@ZZ-ed6wp]

If you could only insulate one or two spots what would give you the most bang for the noise buck? I was thinking along the transmission tunnel and the area behind the seats ?

[@maintainersgarage]

Wall Behind seats for sure, tranny tunnel is more a heat thing. I would do trunk/hatch area.

[@themikeross_]

Is the console removal worth it for the amount of sound and heat reduction in your opinion? ​@@maintainersgarage

[@maintainersgarage]

@@themikeross_ sound eh.. HEAT, YES

[@themikeross_]

@@maintainersgarage would you say it's heatsafe for a phone now? May install a USBC in there if so

[@maintainersgarage]

@@themikeross_ for the most part yes. You do a trackday/hpde then no

[@danh8364]

How heat resistant is this frost king? Can it be used on fenders ,underside of hood etc. ---------I guess no flotation value.

[@maintainersgarage]

Dan, On fenders yes. Underside of hoods, Frost king says YES. I have never used it on the underside of a hood, but Frost king lists car/truck hoods on website, so do it up! C5 tranny tunnel gets VERY hot and this used on the inside of the car cooled it down and it never melted or failed. If you want to plan to put this on the RV or new project, I will make a field trip and help ya out👍
