Both myself and Russell Davis tried the Quiet Car sound proofing, however it did not provide improvement for either of us.  I sprayed it inside the cavity behind the rear door panels of a LM coupe to include the inside of the outer fender and the tops of the fender wheels, and also inside the frame rails around the engine compartment.  I took noise readings before and after application and there was no improvement.  Russell brushed it inside the engine compartment of a LM coupe.  He did not take noise readings but said he could not tell a difference.

This material might provide improvement if used in some other area, however based on my experience I would not recommend it.
