Dynamat in Engine Bay

I acquired a roll of Dynamat, and would like to install it in my speedster to kill some of the engine noise. I'd prefer not to have to take the carpet out in the back to put in the Dynamat. Has anyone put dynamat on the firewall, rather than inside the car? If so, did you have any problems adhering it?

Hi there jack, I had Dynamat in my Ghia that was peeling off when I bought it and I removed it and just had the bodyshop shoot paint color on it when it was being done. I have seem some people use chrome metal screws with chrome washers to anchor corners and middle (you can make a pattern) and screwed into the firewall. Looks OK.

What's the odds of almost same last name right next post....

Thanks Mike. It's nice to meet another Cochran that's not on OJ's legal team. I think the screws might be my way to go. I'll just have to make it look as purty as possible from the inside. The car's only got 3,400 miles, but I still think it's gonna have too much dust and grime to stick properly. I like the sound of the 1915 in my VS from the outside, but inside it's just deafening.

I used dynamat on my engine bay and it went in flawlessly. here is a pict of it finished.

Cochran is a cool last name; Eddie Cochran is one of my favorite Rock'n'Roll artists. Remember Twenty Flight Rock and Summertime Blues?...

I believe that regular dynamat is not recommended for engine bays. They make a product designed for the higher temps.

According to the spec sheet on the Dynamat website, Dynamat Extreme can withstand temps up to 300 F. I think you'll be fine to line your engine bay with it.

there is a spray on made by second skin....its called fire wall and looks pretty cool...
