[Healeys] Jute underlayment

[Larry Varley]

Hi David, not a flame, just my experience with Dynamat. I used it on my 
V8 powered Vanguard ute extensively. The small cabin has tremendous heat 
build up, and it is really no better with the Dynamat. I found it was 
great for noise insulation, which reduced dramatically, however the 
floors above the mufflers got just as hot as before installing it. It is 
an excellent product to use, it bonds and forms well over the steel, but 
for heat insulation it would need to be on the outside of the car rather 
than the inside, in my opinion.
Cheers
Larry
