A friend of mine on another Mopar web site used these products called RAAMmat on his 1972 Demon and say's that it's fantastic stuff. I then contacted the owner Rick McCallum and found him to be very knowledgeable and VERY helpful and friendly. Mr. McCallum say's that his products do an excellent job on both noise and vibration reduction and heat reduction on both heat generated by exhaust heat through the floor pans and outside heat from the sun. It can be used on the floor pans underneath the carpet, on the roof under the headliner and inside of the doors.
I'm getting ready to do a complete interior restoration on my 1966 Coronet 500 and I will be using these products on my car.

64cubed,
Here's the answer that Rick sent me when I e-mailed him and let him know that I was looking for a heat reducing product for my 66 coronet 500 and it's 440 with 3" exhaust that was heating up the interior.Keep in mind that he is the OWNER of the business and even though he was VERY busy with answering questions and filling orders for people, he still took the time to give me the answers that I was looking for in order to make a decision on using his products with a custom list of materials that I would need at a preferred price!. My buddy who bought Rick's products for his 72 Demon also said that Rick's customer service is as good as any company he has dealt with in a long time and not only were they quality products, but they were very easy to use, along with great tech support if needed !

Richard,
Terribly sorry for the delay, simply overwhelmed with email yesterday
and getting orders out sometimes has to take priority, finally catching
up today buddy.
Very cool car project, my brother in law had a new 66 back in 66 but
hit a boulder on the road at close to 100mph(late at night) luckily he
was barely hurt but the car was destroyed.
The combination of RAAMmat and Ensolite makes an incredible heat
barrier. What I do is put down one layer of mat, one layer of the foam
and then add a second layer of the mat and foam over where the exhaust
runs. I have reduced cabin temps by 25 degrees in a buddies F350(800+ ft
lbs of torque) with this method
That is for the floor, then to really do things right for noise you
must do the doors, rear seat sides, under rear deck trim and behind back
seat as well as the kick panels(access holes into the A pillars) Go up
the firewall as far as you possibly can as well.
If you do all this following our HOW TO guide you will have very very
good results, I promise.
One thing though, if your exhaust is really loud you may not quite it
down quite the way you wish, there is a huge amount of acoustical energy
involved that permiates the car and comes in from everywhere including
the glass. We are all different so I cannot promise you will be
satisfied or not, many are, some end up adding an inline perf core
resonator to the exhaust(very little loss of power if any) to deal with
the final bit of noise reduction to get where they are satisfied.
I just want to make sure you know, unfortunately not all in my industry
are as honest about this as I am but I will always be as helpful and
sincere as I can buddy, just no other way to run a business in my book.
I will have to recommend this size order, you may have enough left to do
some areas of the roof or trunk if you wish.
How about our group buy prices to help make up for keeping you waiting
