				I make carpet for a living (OK, I'm an engineer for the world's largest 
 carpet manufacturer)...
 
 I don't think carpet is suitable for that application. There is the 
 potential for too much heat, too close.  Carpet isn't designed for the 
 temperatures you would get on the cockpit side of a firewall where there is 
 a fire on the other side.
 
 Besides, carpet is heavy.  If you're looking for insulation against noise 
 and heat, you'll do better with a purpose designed product.
 
 Just my $0.02.
