hey guys...would like to share my Sound Proof installation done by Mr Howie @ EA Autoworks.

After 2 lengthy meet up sessions with Howie (:hint: :hint: customer service available too..lol), we've came to a final decision on materials to be used:

1) Outer door frame:
~ Layer 1- StP Bomb
~ Layer 2- Splen
~ Layer 3- DynaXorb behind speaker

2) Inner door frame:
~ Layer 1- Aluminium to cover all service holes and small holes
~ Layer 2- StP Gold

3) Door panel:
~ Layer 1- StP Gold
~ Layer 2- Special absorption material

4) Floor pan (Driver's and Passenger's side only):
~ Layer 1- StP Bomb
~ Layer 2- StP Gold
~ Layer 3- Splen
~ Layer 4- Special absorption material


Here comes the photos of installation..


Left Door before the installation



Right Door before the installation





StP Bomb applied on the lower part of outer door frame..






the material is trimmed according to the shape of the door frame..

attention to details...he literally went tru every inch of material heat-blowing and pressing it to make sure maximum cohesion is achieved! It does looks good as well when the material actually follows the structure of ur door frame...



next up, installation of Splen...




beautifully applied...

dynaXorb installed behind speaker..







Aluminium is used to cover up the service holes and small holes...

User Review...

I have to thanks Mr Howie and his team that have put 100% dedication and effort in doing my car...Their service, workmanship, and professionalism is second to none!

Owning good quality equipment is one thing. Having able to apply and implement it to it’s fullest potential is another different story. By doing so, we are actually maximizing our investment value as we are enjoying the “ULTIMATE END RESULT” that can be achieved.

It's only been 2 days driving my truck after work done, so I'll just give some initial impression...I would add more details when the time comes....


- The floor pan is ROCK SOLID like a floor...before doing the deadening, I can always feel minor vibration while resting my left foot on the floor pan, now, it's sooo solid, no vibration at all!

- Road noise has been significantly reduced.

- Outside vehicle's noise has been significantly reduced...its so quiet that I barely hear any noise from vehicle cruising pass me..well, unless they are crushing their accelerator pedal...lol..

- Engine noise (high pitch) at 2800-3000+ rpm is reduced...


More to come....

haha.....this 1 special project

Does the buttons on the door panels rattles after installation? I.e. power windows button.

Ini cadangan ke soalan?

Howie, I guess another happy chap appreciating your work.

Kau ingat ni cadangan ke soalan? Tak kan saya cadang kasi butang2 bergetar...

happy to see this...hope there's more

u got experience with switch rattling after doing sp?

yup, done stp oso. but not like ur method, every layer used stp silver. still got rattling switch when on loud. they self proclaimed attended course by stp. but not very satisfied for the money i paid.

well, i believe some over claim statement or misunderstanding happen....

i dun think the switch rattle noise will solve by doing soundproof....if ur main purpose is to settle the switch problem, just take the switch out and do something on the switch..dampen the door to solve a switch problem is like burn the entire forest just because u dun like the rambutan tree at the center....

if u got the money, change the switch to a new 1 then...

btw, attending stp course doesn't mean anything...just because got good memory, it wont make 1 stand out from the others.... just like some simply copy every word from stp trainer and put in their marketing thread and claim they are professional....

Typical only want to sell sellers.

Always tell customers, they attended the course CONDUCTED by the Russian.

But when you ask further, they will reply Russian guy say like that.... Totally no experience on what is the best material to suggest to their customers.

To those type of seller, "Bro, Russian eat bread and drink Vodka... Why you only eat rice and drink coke?".

Russian guy say what, you also hoh only ah? pii lar...

dun burn the whole forest because of 1 rotten tree...some are really skillful too

hi ckmoy007,

Before Sound Proof: no rattle from door panels

After Sound Proof: no rattle from door panels

Wahhhh how much u spend on the SP???

Hi, can I know?
What is the actual cost
For soundproofing viva?
Thanks.

My howie, just wondering if you can pm me the price of the SP package like the one you did in the first post .. My is car is wira aeroback...thx

Can you pm me also? Not sure if correct to ask here

u can send me a pm as ur initial to have a good sp....including what u expect after it's done.

best to go see howie personally for a face to face consultation. easier to understand.

My perdana.

Car - 12k
Soundproofing - 6k
Satisfaction : Worth every single micro cents spent.

FUH 6 times the money i spent on my sound proofing, lagi ganas than i am on ICE

a proper soundproof will cost 6 to 12k depend on how extreme the owner want the car to be......but for most of the case, a part by part treatment already can satisfy most of the drivers before they spend the whole sum of money into a full soundproof. I had a lot of enquiries of full car soundproof but non of it actually works because of the amount of money need to be invest.

For those who wish to soundproof their car, identify what makes you made ur mind to soundproof the car will be the crucial part. You need to know what noise are troubling you and what kind of expectation you want in order for me to provide you a service that will help u solve your problem...

just want to share experience with EA. Some time we need to share it to the rest of other member and also for the sake of better service in the future.

During my first time long time ago , Mr howiechoo did the job by himself and I really satisfied.


Due to great happy past experience , I went for second time to SP my front door.

2 workers worked on each door. All I can say , they seem not really competent to handle it (maybe my car only). Having hard time to dissamble the inside trim cover.Few part damage due to wrong way to open it.

After more than 2 hours , the job completed and went to test drive with him. Found some rattle but not admit the was due the bad workmanship at the first place. Asking me to put another material to reduce the rattle. Seem like he not really happy with my complaint.

lastly, he had to open the cover again and I really shock that actually most of the nut was not been tighten.Some panel was broken and need to be glue. The rattle gone.

I am happy with the outcome of SPed my door but only having bad experience during installation
