I'll tell you why, sir/ma'am- Because the good stuff doesn't have asphalt in it for a reason...

Totally LOL'd when I read your Rico Suave way of saying your product "has different heat-related properties..." Translation: It sucks in the heat! You can't use asphalt-based products near anywhere that has the potential to get hot (firewalls, over exhaust areas, CA, AZ, TX or anywehere else that has hot summers)... Unless you like a mess in the driver's compartment and the inside of it smelling like a freshly paved road... The reason? Physics- Asphalt becomes pliable and melts when even mildly heated- much like how the road gets squishy when it gets hot.

The good stuff on the other hand, not only deadens sound and reduces rattles wonderfully; it also "can withstand temperatures of -30 to 400F" (Source: Summit Racing® Ultra Heat and Sound-Deadening Mats SUM-879006 - SummitRacing.com ... which is what I used). Not all of it is as expensive as Dynamat; but if you want quality, there is still a price to be paid for it.

In otherwords, if you are an S-chassis owner who has already polluted your car with knockoff "discount mods" because you are on a budget; this "discount alternative" may suit you nicely. However, with your best interests in mind; I strongly urge you to reconsider this one- There are just some things you shouldn't skimp on.

BTW Props to the dude who used the $8 Peel & Seal. Not my first choice, but I bet it will succeed where GTMat will not.
