If you added new heat/sound barrier....

....would you also continue to use the original jute(?) sound deadener under the carpets in a C2?

Would using all three (barrier, jute, carpet) result in everything being too thick?

If you would use all three, what's on the bottom -- the old jute or the new barrier?

Stay with 1/8" or thinner barrier and you can keep the Jute backing without fitment problems. I've used both the ceramic/foil weave heat barrier and the Koolmat (pressed Silicone/fiberglass) heat & sound barrier. The Koolmat seemed to deaden sound more (similar to Dynamat), but the ceramic/foil seemed a bit better at keeping the interior cooler. Shiny side always goes down (reflects heat back to the underside).

Where do you buy the cool mat?

Man are they proud or smoking dope? $350 to $650 for a car kit.

I've used a spray on sound deadener on several restorations with excellent results. $40- 60 per car. Check with your local paint supply house. I guess if you're driving a new car then Kool mat would be a cleaner install.

this may or may not help...

this is a C-3 ...i put in new carpet with the jute attached....under it is an 1/8 inch thick carpet pad...and under that i have reflectix stuff....the only issue i had with it being too thick was under the gas pedal.....when i have the floor mat in it was so thick it would have trouble kicking in when i lost control .....and under the seat area where the seat bracket meets the floor...i had to cut away the area where they make contact....lastly , in the area next to the seat and the door sill....the seat belt come up tight , so i had to trim that area as well....i think the more the better for sound...heat seems to find a way in , in time....but i think it was a very good addition to the sound deadener....look in the audio sites for a good spray on for the areas that you cant put solid stuff....like inside the door skins and stuff.......
Looks great!
