[6pack] Under carpet treatment

[Stephen Lindquist]

I am replacing the carpet in my 250 and have been eyeing some hi-tech
thermal/acoustic underlayments.  Has anyone tried Dynamat Extreme or other
engineered materials as an upgrade to jute and or compressed felt.

The stuff is pricey, and it occurs to me that sound proofing a roadster is
perhaps folly, since the wind noise alone will make deaf.  Thermal
insulation would be nice as well, so I have looked at some claimed combo
materials.

But I only intend to lay the carpet down once, and if there are miracle
materials out there I'd like to know.   I am replacing carpet since the
transmission tunnel "seal" to the floor boards never lived up to its name.
So I have some hose testing to do with the new tunnel gaskets before I
commit to the underlayment.

Thanks,

Steve
