I don't know of one in Sac
Do it yourself. After the first 10sq ft, you'll feel like a pro. When in doubt, add some more. It's not that hard, but when it comes down to it (and you want it absolutely perfect) get in touch with a guy like ansen (audimods).
I plan on doing it myself, I enjoy it.

from what i've read, a typical full install (doors, trunk, spare well...) takes around 20-30sq ft
which will add 15-20 lbs to your car, depending on what product you use. Of course, you could use much more in your car which would increase weight.
Say you completely overkill the project and use 60+ sq ft. An additional 40lbs will NOT change your vehicles perceivable performance.

Yes, Ansen did a first-rate job. I've had many people in my S4 since and they say...
...my exhaust is not loud at all inside the car but from the outside, it's very loud. :-)
I tell them it's the Ansen/Dynamat Extreme mod and they are very impressed at the noise supression.
In addition, the stock Bose sounds much better too. The greatest improvement is mid-bass. Much crisper and cleaner. You'd be surprised. :-)
Thanks again to Ansen for the install. He's S4MadMan=Approved!

Ok - SO where is this stuff commonly installed (typical installation) in the car?
In the doors, back deck, anywhere else? How long does it take to do a typical installation for those who have paid to have it installed or DIY?
