Thread: Floor Insulation

I unscrewed the floor panels, passenger and driver as well as the middle row one, I then painted the underside with sound deadening paint, the black tar stuff from bunnings, once it dried I stuck the 10mm adhesive backed aluminum faced closed cell sound/heat proofing stuff from Clark rubber on to it (around $30 a sqm), this is all on the underside, I also put it under the cubby box, and if I remember correctly I put it on the underside of the seat boxes.

The biggest culprit for heat in my Puma is the Cat, I removed it and put in a decat, and all was cool, but when I had my end of warranty check done I put the cat pipe back in and it is still there, ( have not got round to swapping it back) but the difference in heat is huge. I have my decat pipe wrapped and will put it back in soon, but if you can get shot of that I would, or wrap it as others have suggested that may help.

I also put a layer of that 10m stuff on the inside of the floor panels and around the seat boxes and also on the underside of the seat box lids and on the top. And to top it off there is a double layer of the stuff in the foot wells.

I did the back also but as this is on heat I wont go into any deatail as that was mainly for sound.

Dynamat, fatmat etc is only for deadening panels. It doesn't do much to stop heat or noise by itself.
You need an insulating layer between the now deadened panels and your internal carpet/vinyl. EVA foam (same stuff as camping rolls) is excellent for this.
