DaveM said: I used stuff from Lowes, it's about 1/8" thick silver foil over a foam I think. Can't remember the name. It's in the insulation department, comes in rolls. It form fits very easily and works great.
I used the aluminum tape (for duct work) to seal the seams. Just a thought.

I did the same thing, I put bed-liner down, than the foam stuff and topped it with a felt type padding. as for fitment I don't know yet haven't got it together Confused

Thanks everyone for the responses and experiences. Especially thanks Pilot for the pictures. That is an impressive job! I'm doing it for the reasons you all noted. Heat...noise...and everything else! I'll let you know how it turns out. Jason

I just bought some of that foil and foam adhesive  from Lowes.
Not for my vette, but for my motorhome.

The stuff from Lowes...
The brand is Frost King Duct Insulation.
12" wide 1/8" thick x 15 feet for $18.77.  Plus tax.
R Value is 3.0
Looks like a real quality product with good adhesive.

I have not used Dynamat, so do not what difference there is.  Price wise or otherwise.
What is the difference?

I'm in the middle of an interior upgrade. I used a combination of dynamat and insulation. I originally started out to just use the insulation then a friend gave me a few pieces of dynamat.......the stuff is terrific and goes down real easy. For my next car I will plan on a combination of the products.

@ Steve. I too used the Frost King Duct Insulation from Lowes, laying it over the top of dynamat in much of the cockpit. Dynamat is a sound-insulating material, whereas the Frost King provides a thermal barrier. The thermal insulation signficantly reduced the amount of heat radiating into the cockpit from the catalytic converter - which ultmately made my air-conditioner more effective on warm summer days (as did tinting)
