You do not want to kill the sound 100% because you listen to the motor whine to know the proper time to shift. shag carpeting.

You can also use "Q-Pads, available at any better body shop supply house. Another idea is to convert your engine to hydraulic lifters. Helps a lot.

It is primarily used with the installation of large sound systems because it stops all the rattling produced by large subwoofers. This sound proof mat is also good for stoping road noise, or in your case possibly sound proofing your car. I am sure you can find an online retailer for dynamat, but if not go to a local audio store. I am not 100% sure but my guess is that you glue the stuff in under all your interior panels.
