That's my vote, too.

Dynamat is too pricey and a pitb to install. Lizard is just as effective (often MORE) at lower cost, better convenience, and weighs less than a comparable dm install.

I'll never touch the mat stuff again unless I'm doing it in addition to the Lizardskin product I'd already done on a given vehicle.

Spray in sound deadener is perfect. How thick is the Lizard Skin? Is it similar to spray in bed liners? I wonder if I can use a bed liner gun to apply it. I think I'm going to get a TAG also.

They work the best. Takes away the drone and makes the vehicle drivable.
I agree with this all the way.

I got to get mine quieted down inside the cab. The engine noise and exhaust noise is bad. Cant carry on a civil conversation. I have a resonator on but need more. What muffler would be the best with or with out the resonator? Would lining the engine hood help? I have lined the the cab behind the back seat, quad doors, and floor up to the back of the front seats. What is this product called lizard and where do I find it ? Thanks for any help

Dude,
Punch it off now. If she gets her way this early in the game, you're screwed. Another approach; get her a ride in a stacked truck, and she'll appreciate more what you have.

Whoa, whoa, that's not how it is. She jokes around about being deaf after long trips. I agree with her, it is a little on the loud side if your driving several hours at a time. I think between Lizard Skin and TAG the noise will be much improved. This will make the larger turbo that's in my future much more tolerable on the highway. As soon as I get the injectors in it's sound proofing time.
