Hi guys, this is my first post at lyn so if tersalah cakap, please shoot puas-puas ya biggrin.gif And I also dunno if this is the appropriate place to post this. I just had to share my excitement with everyone before it goes away. Anyway, I just installed some sound dampening mats (STP Gold bulk of 10s) & sound absorber(the cotton OEM Honda kind; forgot what it's called hehe) for my car floor at EA Autoworks today. The job took 5 hours and I've attached some pictures below.

So far, while driving home, I've already noticed a significant drop in road noise (Howie said "give it a few days for the silence to seep in") and I can converse more easily with a passenger at my side thanks to that cotton OEM mat. The people at EA Autoworks are a friendly bunch and will gladly answer any sort of questions thrown at them. I was also worried that these mats will be heavy but Howie reassured me saying that he has +-100kgs of sound proofing mats on his ride in exchange for peace of driving. Well as the saying goes, silence is golden.

As you can see, its quite bare to start with.

The poison.

Almost there. At this point Howie was joking that he undercharged me for this trouble. Aiya no sweat la bro, you pro ma notworthy.gif

Not necessary bro, soundproofing is just to deal with the problem.. It is not a formula to follow on.

Some ppl just soundproof fenders only because tire noise is their concern.

honda floors are HORRIBLE. nuff said lol.

if you've ever sat in a honda car before (city/civic at least), you'll instantly notice how noisy the tire/road noise can be

To answer that question, I have already done my doors with an unbranded product from another shop and I don't find much difference from it. I figured if I do floor, the difference will be more significant. Now that I know of Howie's workmanship, I just might as him to strip down my doors and reapply the silent STP Gold ^^

Ahahha so what the goss/badmouthing about ? tongue.gif
Indeed, a City even with 16" tyres are already unbearable. 17" like a war in progress! Need to change tyres for further noise reduction I guess but I drive slow, so not much tyre wear... blush.gif
