I also drove mine empty (still with the factory
fiberglass insulation but no fixtures or panels) and
then with the Extreme (the thinner stuff) and it
seemed quieter.  The really noticeable difference is
thumping panels that have been soundproofed compared
to those that have not. The huge difference in the
resonant sound (greatly reduced on the treated panels)
MUST make a big difference on the inside when in
motion.

Another guy who did this, who used SIX ROLLS on his
interior, naturally claims even better results.  I
have not yet done the cab area of my van (front doors,
headliner, floor and firewall) and that fellow claims
that is crucial for best results.  I believe it and
will get to these areas in the next down season.
