I'm tempted to get an ICE company to do a full Dynamat job on my coupe. Total quoted is around £1,600 which seems expensive but maybe need to spend this for a proper job. I wonder if anyone else has had this, and to what effect.
I aim to reduce road noise and increase music quality, maybe some speakers while it's in bits. Have the high power system.
Comments and advice gratefully received. Maybe another outfit in the Swindon UK area less costly but effective?
Dynamat and tyre noise
Just out of curiosity, do you find the road noise really that bad? (If yes- Bad enough to warrant £1600)
A dynamat install requires a large amount of interior trim removed and refitted - the risk of rattles when put back together would be high.
Cheaper to just upgrade your hifi but if you already have the upgraded version then it’s reasonable money again to upgrade further.
If you want a quieter environment then would a different choice of car be more suited vs a 2 seater sports car?
Other option, what tyres are you running? Could compromise with quieter tyres depending on your answer

Buy decent tyres instead. Cheaper, less hassle and doesn't add unwanted weight.

I think getting a full dynamat interior to make an F type quit is a sign you have the wrong car. They are about noise, theatre and performance.
Only time I’ve done it in a sports car was on the doors of a Z4 so they closed less like they were made from old bean cans

I think you can get the same effect by putting a set of ear plugs in - that's quite a bit cheaper, and a lot less weight as well!
I'm on Pirellis and find the tyre noise varies an awful lot between different road surfaces, from "almost silent" to "OMG what's happening?"

I have Michelin 4S all round. I love the car and its sound. As SCM says, others do too, rough road surfaces (there's a lot in the UK) are pretty loud. Good job I've got the high power amp.
I've driven a few times in the USA and really noticed the quieter road surfaces I encountered there.
As I won't get the road surfaces changed here, thought I'd do the car, but I'm 70:30 against doing it. I appreciate the warning about rattles, mine is rattle free.
