Sound proofing in the engine bay

[AxlFoley]

I was just wondering if anyone has changed/ added or improved the sound deadening in the engine bay at all?

Mine is all but gone, so I want to replace it, I'm just wondering what my options are.

Thanks

Mark

When the engine was out I put dynomat behind the metal fire wall to the petrol tank and felt it made a big difference.

this is on my wanted list as well so I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.. its got to be fire resistant as well hasn't it? someone has suggested going to a boat yard for the stuff they use in the boat engine bay's but I don't have any near me !

i made aluminium exact replicas as mine had warped and broke and the fact that i was fitting a firetec system, i reused the plastic wrapped original stuff as it was in perfect nick ,
RS components sell a 1" thick black sound deadening foam which is flame retardent and also has a peelable stickyback which would be perfect for this
