Jaycar sell heaps, and it's much cheaper than Dynamat. The only thing better about Dynamat is their marketing! Bitumen and some tin foil is bitumen and tin foil, there aint much to it!

lol that would be great if Dynamat Xtreme, Second Skin etc. were ashphalt based mate... but they're not. They're butyl based.

If you dont have the $$$ to buy dynamat, either save you pennies untill you have enough for what you need (which wont be much if its going in the ute) or if you REALLY want SD now, then use the Jaycar stuff.....its ok but i'd use 2 layers of it, one dosent really do much im my opinion.

depends what you want really!

i used septone body deadener on my pillers, floorpan ( inside and underbody) arches, parcel shelf, inside roof, boot floor, firewall, and when the engine was being swapped i hit the engine bay with it and just used some jaycar mats for the doors and top of boot with and althouhg a pain in the arse job imho well worth doing protects against rust, and [ slightly] improves your sound...
