just my here. if you are building a 100 point show car don't use it. if you building a really nice driver car I highly recommend using it. there are a LOT of different sound deadeners. the type I have used and seen others use is a tar based self sticking adhesive pads, some are foil backed for heat resistance. this type works great, it's almost impossible to remove. most sound deadening materials will be difficult to remove. in my opinion is it won't make the car worth less. it won't make your car worth more but it will make you car much easier to sell because the car will be a much nicer car to drive.
perception is 90% of reality

Thanks for the note. As far as heat is concerned, I assume that the heat is coming in from the pipes below, the hump above the transmission and the firewall up front.
I assume it is the aluminum coating that will help reduce that especially where the jute is absent.
Yes, I have headers and an X pipe, plus the shifter opening in the floor. The matting helped quiet it down, and was a very good heat barrier. I bought a roll of FatMat on e-Bay for about $100 or so shipped. I covered my entire firewall, floor pan all the way back to the shock mounts (I have a fastback), the rear wheel housings, and the roof. I also added strips inside my doors. Car used to be an oven, now it's actually nice with the fresh-air vents open.
