just didd on my own car =). Will write a review when I find the time to and when the foam settles down in three days

what is roar killer?

its specially selected materials used to be sticked on certain parts of the wheel arch to absorb tire noise .

One of them would me 3M's Thinsulate which is non-woven and VERY,VERY lightweight which is widely used by Lexus in various parts of their chassis.

Price should be RM380.00 i think

i see..is there by any chance sharing some similarity with cheaper superlon?

one is more effective and lighter than the other.

and also nonid to DIY, risking unneccessary weight on your car as their price comes with labour FOC installation

Hi guys,

SquareBalls,
Thanks for starting this topic here. Also great to see you enjoying AutoFoam and our SP solutions.

I see a lot of questions regarding AutoFoam and KL AUTO's Soundproofing and NVH solutions.
Now that the World cup is over, can explain a bit here ...

AutoFoam is a dedicated Automotive chassis stiffening foam as used by Aston Martin, Ford, BMW.
KL Auto brought this fantastic product and technology into Msia and Spore in 1999 and has since treated thousands of cars from Kancils to AMG Benzs.

The benefits of treating the chassis with genuine Automotive foam is 3 fold...
1) stiffen the chassis to reduce chassis flex and twist. This improves Handling significantly.
2) by increasing the car's body rigidity, ride comfort is improved dramatically as bumps and vibrations does not excite the structure as easily.
3) Absorbs Noise, Vibration and Harshness ( NVH).

Prices starts from Rm 300 to as high as Rm 3k depending on areas treated and car model/size.
AutoFoam Comfort covers 6 sections of the car's lower chassis including 1) engine subframes, 2)central chassis 3) rear subframes . From only Rm 680.
I noticed someone selling Re-packaged House-hold foam treating the central chassis ONLY for Rm 399. ??? DONT think this is Value for Money!

Beware of fake or inferior foams, which are repackaged House-hold foams. Refer to..
http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/index....&id=5&Itemid=72

AutoFoam @ KL AUTO comes with a 10 year warranty against shrinkage, deteriotian.

Now, for those interested in Soundproofing.
http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/index....id=58&Itemid=79

To effectively soundproof a car, one needs different materials for different applications and areas. The trick is knowing What and Where to apply for Maximum Bang for Buck value.

1) AutoFoam treats the Chassis, the car's bones.
This is is to absorb the resonance and high frequeny noise in the car's hollow sections that otherwise will amplify.

2) Panel ( skin) vibrations...the empty Milo-can effect and Surround Noise.
Modern cars panels like doors are getting bigger with thinner sheet metal. The problem is here is they vibrate easily and create noise.
So the second step to effectively soundproof a car... damp these thin panels.
KL AUTO's Door package using GSI ( US) / 3M mats starts from Rm 480.

3) After damping the panels, the third step is to Absorb and Insulate noise, esp tire and road. Proven solutions like..
ROAR BUSTER for Road and Tire noise.
A propietary combination of noise Insulation /Absorbing products applied to both Front and Rear wheel arches and A frames.
Utilizing 3 different products to the front portion of the car alone to address the critical 400 to 2.5 khz range where tire / road noise is most obvious.
This new package includes the fantastic 3M insulation material, as used on luxury cars like Lexus, Acuras etc.
from Rm 380.

For more info, visit http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/ or drop me a line.
Will be visiting here from now on so feel free to ask for any Soundproofing and Foaming advice.

Also a big thanks to Seong Meng, ThunderGod_Cid for your fantastic feedback and reviews.

Cheers,

Des

A Final Review for Autofoam :
http://car-preventive-maintenance.blogspot...f-autofoam.html

i've autofoamed my lantis last saturday.i took comfort + roar killer package.here's my honest review

the process took some 3 hrs, done by Desmond's staff, sam. desmond weren't there that day so haggling with the price with sam was difficult. but sam did treat me nescafe ais. first took out my car from the shop,the difference was very minimal, it could be dismissed as placebo effect perhaps. at that moment i felt like falling on the ground already.

on the 2nd day however, the effects has started to show. my car feels tighter, no squeaky noises. its a relieve.cut the story short,the effects get more pronounced day by day, until today.so it was true what has been said about this product.my 14 years old car feels like it's only 4 years old! 10 years ageing effects just foamed away..so thumbs up.

im all satisfied except for this little feeling i have about the roar killer package.i feel the things done are not justified for the price. he only did some padding on the front wheel arches and cut out about 5cm x 3cm of some thin spongy paddings and put one each inside each A-pillar.none being done for the rear section. yes he told me the materials are expensive and what not..but still think the price is too expensive for whats being done.

sorry des, but this is my honest review.but other that that,the autofoam really did wonders
