I heard that autofoam can sound proof and strengthen chasis at the same time, it is also much more lighter than conventional soundproof material...

anybody using it in their ride? how does it feel? good handling?better than conventional soundproof?
shop and price? plz share here...preferably share your experience if u DIY...
thanks in advance... rclxms.gif

i don't know if it strengthen or make the chasis worse...
i've heard cases from other forums...that during impact, the force distribution of the chasis was altered after using autofoam...

so what is your purpose? if you want soundproof..why not install dynamat? instead of putting autofoam?

autofoam is good for sound proofingand strengthen your car chassis. even Hypertune noted that once accident happen, your car body reshaping is near impossible to reshape it.

Not really a good investment.

Dynamat is for external surface..example, doors,roofs, whereas autofoam is injected in hollow section, such as A, B,C pillar.

Autofoam is effective as soundproofing, but very pricy

Once I saw an autofoam in a spray bottle, DIY for car.. it's cheap. In fact, during that time, it was on clearance sale, rm5 per bottle. Ori price around rm30 something.. Yes. Its autofoam, where after sprayed, the foam will expand.

the sound proof on autofoam won't be as good as dynamat. But if you combine both then it will be diff story. You can always check the KLAuto for further explanation. The boss is very friendly.

it wont make the car totaled, just make the repairing process a bit harder..
u may go for other alternative to soundproof ur car which might safer and save a couple bucks
