[spec.check]

got it!

Thanks for your patience guys. This Superlon material...Ive been reading differing views la. Some say, it works like a gift from above. Wherelse, some say, satu difference pun-ta-da.

To those who are already using it, got diff?

cheers,
spec.check

 

[khguan]

for me.. got diff... but u cant compare de results wit those luxury cars lar...

my wira is much more quiet after superloning many parts of my car... u'll need bitumen strips together so dat de soudproofing is complete..

less noise in ur car.. u get more music... n u drive faster than normal.. cos u do not feel ur car is moving fast.. :P

 

[andrewkhoo_85]

brother wats bitumen 4?
and where should i apply it?

 

[khguan]

bitumen is made of tar... our road pavement is made of bitumen n small rocks...

in DIY soundproofing.. we use bitumen strips.. which comes in rolls.. it is like a tape.. on top is a shiny aluminuim foil.. n below is de bitumen.. black sticky wan... bout 1 - 1.5mm thick n 2" wide normally...

it is similar to de dynamatt damping matt.. just dat theirs come in one big sheet... n r damn freaking expensive!!

butimen strips is used to absorb or dampen vibration on metal part/panels... we normally stick them on our car doors... de metal parts... those hollow metal parts... n any metal parts dat sounds like milo tin when u knock it.. B)

 

[boeytan]

Bitumen is no way close to Dynamat lar bro, It is expensive but worth the money. my friend tested 3 layer of bitumen still cant compare to 1 layer of Dynamat.....n bitumen cant stand with heat. it will melt where Dynamat can stand heat better. Just come to think of it... if bitumen is that good then Dynamat can close shop liao lor.... Bitumen can b used because it is cheap but dun expect too much from the result...

Never take bitumen compare to Dynamat.

boeytan, what you do is use aluminium foil to sort of wrap the bitumen so you can stick and protect it.. it works la. Or a layer of superlon together with bitumen works wonders. I just did my bonnet with the Eon audioproofing sticker set.. material is similar if not the same as superlon. It has quietened my engine from the outside but not much really cuz WiSE is generally noisy everywhere. :D doesn't help with the fact that I have 8 speakers in the car. Heh.
