I bought my car stripped. I found carpet to put back into it and I also installed flooring carpet insulation. It worked well but not as I hoped. I want to retain at least a regular OEM silence because as of right now you have to raise your voice to speak to people in the car. Ive decided to just dynamat the car. And I was wondering if anyone had any diagram where there is the hard sound proofing in the s13 hatchback. The kind that you use dry ice to take out. I need to know the locations of that and also a layout of the trunk, such as a picture of whats under the carpet or a description because thats where most of the noise is coming from. Also, water can get it from the rear wheel wells because its not closed off. In my SR I had a little problem with my rocker arms and I worked on the motor and now my chain tensioner leaks oils because the studs are too weak and if I attempt to tighten them Im afraid that I will snap the studs off.

Questions : 1. Where factory sound proofing is located in s13 hatch?
2. Trunk parts layout?
3. Can I add RTV sealant to the gasket on the chain tensioner?
4. What info would I need to buy the chain tensioner studs here locally?

For the sound deadening. I bought peel'n seal from lowes. It's the same stuff as dynamat, but it is 15 bucks for a 25 foot roll. I used about 5 rolls for the entire car. Then on top of that I used the thickest carpet padding I could find. I rtv-ed the tensioner when I
upgraded it.
