That’s a great mod. I did something similar in my 2017 Miramar. I used Boom Mat which can be purchased online. I did two layers of it under the doghouse and 1 layer underneath the entire front cabin and in the engine bay underneath the dashboard by the front window. Additionally, I removed the plastic dashboard cover and computer work station and then stuffed cotton insulation (made of shredded blue jeans) inside there before replacing the covers. Lastly, I designed some front wheel well liners and had them made by a sheet metal shop. I had them completely LineX’d and then installed them myself. A world of difference afterward.
I think my next mod for the cabin noise will be to make a 2-1/2” high raised, foam insulated, carpeted floor atop the existing cabin floor under the seats to the firewall. Also, I’m toying with the idea of making another subframe that fits under the doghouse that can be thermo acoustically insulated as well. Good luck with your mods.
