    I know it's "heavy" to mpg purists... But I used dynamat, along with my aftermarket system....getting 53.1 mpg right now, 1/4 way through tank, in hot Florida....

    Way quieter, especially on doors and body panels, as they're soooooooo thin...

    System is posted in 2010 private sales, mailkiko is username on priuschat

    I'll just add again:

    1. It does quiet the cabin - not a lot - but slightly noticeable.
    2. There are cheaper sources (read the posts) than Dynamat (I used Dyn - because it was a last minute thing)
    3. The most important reason to do it - when you close the doors, you get a nice Lexus like 'thud' - when you tap the outside panels (like C pillar and back / outside doors), you get a feel like it's a 70's car (thick metal sound) :cool:

    Amazon has the best Dynamat Extreme price I have seen. It's still pricy though. Amazon has if for $124.95 for 36 sq feet, that is less than 1/2 of suggested retail. People who believe you get what you pay for can buy the same thing for $310 direct from Dynamat:D
