Quick clarification - this "deadener" ended up working more as a heat shield than anything; I'm well aware of that. However, it is listed on Ebay as "the lightest sound deadener". So, since it's marketed as sound deadener, that's what I tested it as.
I happen to be watching while wearing headphones and I definitely notice a difference before and after. For the cost, weight, and final effect, I’d say it’s much better than nothing! Thanks for continuing to post these builds, they are immensely enjoyable. 🔥
That looks like a heat insulator, not a sound deadener. Sound deadeners use mass to absorb vibrations. That stuff obviously has no mass. But an air gap between two foil faces should be a fairly decent heatshield.
More or less, yes. I wasn't sure what material it was until it showed up. However it was advertised as "sound deadening". It worked about as well as I expected.
While it probably did nothing about the absolute decibel level, open structure foams do a great job reducing higher frequency sound bounces-makes it much less harsh to our ears even if it’s the same total loudness. For the cost and weight, I’d say that’s pretty great.
Bubble foil insulation like this makes great firewall heat shielding. You can just sandwich it between the brake booster or anything else and the fire wall and not have to cut around it to fit. I've also used it a few times to make quick airboxes around cone filters
@@HatersGarage I use aluminum foil duct tape to hold it together and sealed to the car. Been using 2 different versions in my rx7 for about 5k miles each with no issues
Bro, your videos are really good. Your e30 content needs more attention. Keep it up. Could you do a rust repair video? I have a quarter panel to deal with.
@@TheFlaimingCow Yeah, especially IX's. The reason mine is so bad is because someone put rubberized coating on it, which is the devil; It accelerates rust rather than preventing it.
1 year late, right on time. If you haven't done it yet I would just find some that's the best deal possible, if you have extra you can put it to use in the doors or roof.
Not convinced this is the right stuff for the purpose. Better comparison would've been with deadening, and with carpet before deadening. Loved when the camera fell off tho, InstaLike!

" I have a camera and working ears " LOL
Guy should have way more subscribers just from that comment
Dude I love your videos, I'm laughing so hard. And the info is awesome. Thanks bro

I like the airbox idea, I might steal that.

Honestly I just got a roll of felt to use at a crafts store. Works well and was pretty cheap
Honestly that would work better as deadener, doesn't shield heat too well though.
You could put a layer of felt over that insulation and it will improve.

Thanks man. The body on my E30 is a complete pile; rust everywhere. I'll see if I can find somewhere interesting to fix.
@@HatersGarage Yeah that happens with these cars, Id also undercoat it

Safety is no1 priority
Great stuff anymore on the e30?
How much meters of sound deadening will I need for a E30 4 door? Also what thickness? 1.8mm is too thick?

Double the sound deadening material
True I could do that, but at that point it would make more sense to just get a more expensive material.
"Safety is our number one priority"
Dude the CrazyRussianHacker energy is real without the actual safety

Yeah, it's more of a heat shield than a deadener.
I guess your camera has automatic volume control
I don't believe so. There just wasn't much difference, lol
That car is prime for an "electrical" fire if you know what I mean... .lol
Sounds the same
Basically yeah
well, that was a complete waste of time and money...... :(
A waste of time, not so much on the money.
