Thumbs up Noico Red 315 closed cell,foam impressions

So, now that I'm (ahem) "over the hill" I've decided I want a nice quiet ride. You may remember my thread about hoodliner here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=808418 The respectable results I achieved on that deal motivated me to take it up another notch. This time, I purchased Noico Red 315 mil closed cell stick on tiles from Amazon and proceeded to cover my entire floor, firewall, and back wall. I had already done the butyl deadener strips and the jute pad so this was to just be an additional layer.
First let me say the stuff is extremely lightweight and moderately priced. I also found the pre-cut rectangular pieces easy to work with. The adhesive is very strong and once it's stuck it's not able to be peeled off without ruining the piece. It is quite flexible and will form rather well to the contours of the truck. It's also easy to cut with a utility knife but it does dull the blade quickly.
After the floor was covered with the larger pieces, I filled in the gaps with the left over scraps to get full coverage. I was pleased when I was able to return the jute pad and carpeting to more or less their same oringinal spot which only require a slight enlargement of the holes I had previously made for the seat, seatbelts, thresholds etc.
When I took a drive, the difference was easy to notice. The noise from the exhaust, the motor and trans, front tires, etc was much less and I actually found myself unintentionally driving faster because the roar was diminished.
I should add here that my exhaust is already very quiet and I run a semi enclosed air cleaner so I may have started with less noise than the average street rod. Nonetheless, I have to give this product two thumbs up based on its price, quality, and results achieved.

Just figured I'd share that with you guys
