Just remember that if you use cheaper rubber or insulation not designed for use in a car it can give off toxic fumes when heated. The bunnings pavers are probably a case in point. Use at your own risk.

I have treated mine with closed cell foam, the footwells, gearbox tunnel, seat bases and cargo area are now covered.
The result is amazing, I can drive while wearing shorts. The noise has also been dramaticaly reduced.
Will have to wait for winter to see if the foam will absorb water.
Don't know if you've had a look at the stuff but it's made from recycled tyres in Australia I think you'd find a lot more toxic materials in any new vehicle to start with.Quote:

The best way to reduce heat transfer from an exhaust is to have it ceramic coated inside and outside. It's quite amazing how effective it is, but a bit of a waste on standard pipework. Doesn't do so much for noise transfer, but maybe a little as it smooths the internal surface so there's not so much echoing.
Usually done on extractors.
Not perentie and not something you'd expect on a Series III military:

Yeah you might be right. I was talking with a rubber manufacturer in Wodonga and he told me the heat from the transmission tunnel is enough to release toxic fumes from some types of rubber. I've made sure I use proper stuff ever since.Quote:
