Update:

Here's some more pictures of the progress. I'll be done today(Monday) with the entire thing. Right now the entire stereo is hooked up and working but I'm getting a very slight vibration from one of the speakers so I need to fix that. All the panels and such are installed as well. All that needs to go back in is the center console and the front seats and I'll be able to call it finished.
But I thought I'd post some pictures to show you what I've been doing.
I put the sound deadening material across the entire interior, putting double layer's on area's that would have more noise, i.e by the exhaust, the floors up front, doors, over the wheel wells, etc... After all that was in I went over and installed the sound deadening foam. I concentrated(sp) on putting this on places that would need more deadening and could cause rattles. I've been very impressed with this foam thus far. Once it's all installed and I take it for a drive I'll let everyone know how I like it and if I thought it was worth the effort and money.

Thanks guys and no I don't have anything Sony in my stereo. I use to have Sony amps. My speakers are the Infinity Perfects and some Rockford Fosgate's.

I just finished it up. Man did it suck doing this in 95* weather, the sweat was litterally just pouring off my face.
Anyways the results were well worth it. As you guy's know I have LT's, ORY, and then the loudmouth. It's just barely louder than when the exhaust was stock and no I'm not making that up. The car feels more solid and I love the way when I shut the doors it really quiets all the outside noise. The car just feels so much better when driving. I'm up for a road trip now!
