I have a good friend that installs car stereos for a living. He often gets requests to quiet down a vehicle's interior since people spending lots of money on a good sound system, want to hear it. He told me he sometimes removes the seats, carpet, door panels, and trunk carpet - then uses dynamat (sound absorbtion material) to line the major surfaces. After that, he said they use cheap carpet and fit that to the interior before putting the original carpet back in. So between the dynamat, the factory insulation pad, the extra carpet, it's supposed to make a huge difference. Not cheap to do and lots of labor but he tells me it's worth it. I'd like to try in on my 9-5 but it look pretty difficult to remove everything. I would be concerned that I would never get the carpet to fit correctly again.
