Is the tarish/rubber padding behind the backpad and glued to the firewall worth keeping? I'm assuming it's mainly for sound insulation.
Would I be better off replacing it with Dynamat type insulation? I've had to scrape the tar off the floors under the seats - and will be replacing that with Dynamat type insulation ... why not do more? Doors too? Actually I'll be using RAAMmat BXT - if there are any opinions out there... |

I went with Raamat with mine. The layer of foil helps with sound deadening. I am not going to do the engine side of the firewall unless the noise is really bad, and I think I'd do a second layer on the cabin side before I put a layer on the engine side. in the event of a fire, it would also be less of something that might burn.
