What did you use? How much did it cost and weigh?

I won't sound deaden if it's gonna weigh the car down considerably...

stock exhaust doesnt make much noise, so you can just get away with it.... go stock :thumbsup:

Yeah the stock exhaust is fine... mine isn't :p

You need to understand how soundwave wave travel... they bounce all over the place, so its wouldnt be possible just to deaden only one area.

For my previous civic, I found the exhaust note noisy, so I use dynamat extreme and also extremeliner. Even after doing so many work, its still noisy, so I sold the car.....

If you dont want the weight that comes with dynamat, get the extremeliner, its a lot better and lighter as well. Only downside is more expensive. bitumen and metal sheet do deaden the car from vibration, etc and the sponge material to assorb and reduce all the other noise/frequencies.

I got a quote from Eastern Honda in Doncaster and it costs $695 to get the whole underneath of the car done. The benefits of this include, less road noise, a reduction in vibrations and better insulation.
Is it worth it guys?

I also got a letter in the mail today advertising the scatch and dent home repair service for $595 for 3 years. But I'm not really interested in this.
Does any one have this service and is it worthwhile?

i've put stacks of deadener in and it is heaps quieter! tyre noise can only be heard reflecting off of walls through my window etc but not open highway. with the stereo up i can only feel not hear the exhaust and road anyway.

thats a sh1t load of dynamat, i dont think liam is going to do that to his euro anytime soon unless his putting a whopping 15" sub in.

I'm more concerned about weight than the effort involved, lol

na it doesn't weigh that much... not

You can't have your cake and eat it too, if you want a luxury rice rocket your gonna have to put up with the noise! Your euro is LOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD Liam.
