I'm wondering out of all the deadeners out there like Dynamat and B-Quiet, etc.; which has the least amount of smell to it? It's something I hadn't taken in account when planning my new system. I was going to go with Dynamat, but if it smells and I can get something with less smell and cheaper, then that much better.

Thanks!

Tom

I'm very concious of fumes b/c I don't do well with them at all. I used FatMat on my ride, just the doors. There were fumes when installing but mostly disappeared once attached to the door. Helped that I got the backing away too, not just on the floor of the garage. With the doors reassembled there seem to be no fumes. If the car is sealed up completely for a long time (overnite) there will be a faint odor when I open up, but goes away very quickly. 1 Week later, no fumes at all.

I used a respirator during installation, very helpful.
