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

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?

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. thumbup.gif

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

icyd : glad that you're enjoying your ride pretty well smile.gif.

Well, I assume Dezzy used 3M's's Thinsulate material for your wheel arches and some inudentified material for the a-frame.

Thinsulate is damn well expensive and gives the best results overall... It's been proven and widely used in Lexus cars.

The price is okay for the kind of material you are getting. This would've reduced your tire noise.

I sat in the rear of a lantis before and would suggest you to foam up the c-pillar and maybe the boot area as REAL noise comes through there. You may wanna consult Desmond for this.
End of the day, bravo to Autofoam smile.gif

kinda agree with u about the noise comes from the rear section.infact i've done some diy noiseproofing using superlon in the c-pillar cover.there's some reduction i think but still a lot more to be improved.sam told me to take out the rear seat and insulate the floor underneath coz most sound resonate thru the baremetal there
