Hood liner?

I posted this on a different group but wasn't able to receive a quick
response like I always do here. Any assistance anyone?

---HEAD---
I'm looking to quiet some of the noise coming from my engine
compartment on my '90 Celica. Though it's not overly loud, I'm looking
to make it as quiet as possible. The first option I thought of was to
install a hood liner. I have heard that this can be rather effective

Does anyone have any recommendations of a hood liner that would work? I
have seen Dynamat but from what I hear it's just far too overpriced and
features the same quality as products that can be purchased for a
cheaper price.

How difficult would it be to install the hood liner (my guess is simply
clean the hood, then place it and cut)?

And one final question: What else can I do to help quiet my engine
compartment? I am hoping to have it quiet on both the outside and
inside of the vehicle.

THANKS.

Go to a junk yard and get a hood liner from another car and use Household
Goop to hold it in place.

I would agree, ive removed the lining from mine, but assuming you
wanted it quiet (might be a 3sge or other engine in the model range not
3s related) you could find and alltrac hood liner or just use dynamat
or similar so long as its spec'd safely - gets hot under there.

It's nice to hear that your car sounds like a Porsche. I wish I could
say the same of mine. ;) To me, it just sounds like a noisy lil
four-banger with an exhaust leak or some sort of noise.

Does Dynamat actually work? Is it worth the $120+ that some places are
charging?

I need to replace my armrest and when I finally get around to doing
that, I'll check whatever junk yard I goto and see what they have for
hoodliners.

heres how you make a celica sound like a porsche.
slap a tuned turbo motor, aftermarket ecu and if your in a state with
no emissions testing you can get away with running strait pipe like me.
chicks dig the sound, it aint like them damn ricer fart can... its like
a porsche/racecar

There are other materials other than DynaMat. Usually Fiberglas batting is
the normal for hood insulation...
