Hmmm. Very interesting. Did you apply it to the firewall (rear bulkhead) and to the floors as well?

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.
