Hi guys,

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

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 tongue.gif ...

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

What our happy customers say..
Oec88 ( Altis 2010) review on AUTOFOAM COMFORT, GSI Door package, Roar Buster and Magic Mat!

Just back from KL to Penang, already test my car on the highway after apply the Comfort Package of AutoFoam, GSI door sound proofing package, Roar Buster and Magic Mat. The result is totally awesome and speechless, it's true.

When I driving down to KL, my friends in my car already told me about the noise, why the new car have so much noise. On that time I also driving 150km/h on the highway and the noise is totally unacceptable. After apply all the magic stuffs, the first thing that me and my friend can realize is the steering become more tighter and steering has become more responsive, whenever I turn the steering, the car feedback immediately. Comfort Package is apply the AutoFoam into the undercarriage hollow section, the result is the most impressive one. I was driving 80km/h on KL road and I didn't realize I was actually already running 80km/h, it was like 50km/h or 60km/h, no floating, no worries and very confident driving the car, it was awesome!

GSI door soundproofing package does improve my door "quality", much more solid closing door sound, less vibration noise in car cabin and when you hit the door, the door sounds like Mercedes-Benz car. The vibration that created by my car door is because of Corolla Altis has quite big piece of door design. The larger the car door, the more vibration it creates.

About the Magic Mat, we test together with Desmond on the spot, also with other customers. Without the magic mat, I can hear the exhaust noise in rear Persona cabin when I was sitting inside. After that Desmond jumped out and put his Magic Mat into the rear boot of the Persona, immediately rev the engine again and the exhaust noise is massively reduced. For my car, I did the front bonnet and rear boot with Magic Mat, the result is impressive. New Corolla Altis has 1ZZ-FE engine inside the engine bay, and it is Toyota Celica engine if I'm not mistaken, a sporty engine I can say. The roar sound of the engine is so clearly when I fully step on the pedal when I was testing 0-100km/h in Penang. After put the Magic Mat on it, together with GSI door soundproofing, the engine noise also massively reduced. I was thinking why Desmond put his productivity as "Roar Killer" and "Roar Buster", that is to kill and bring down the roar noise. The roar noise will be still there, but it is not as loud as last time, not so rough, not so rude and more "soft" roar noise. What I can say is, impressive and awesome!

Thank you Desmond, the money spend on these modification and addition are worth. I really enjoyed when driving back to Penang, 160km/h no problem, 170km/h no problem but of course 160km/h and higher will have more noise. When driving 110km/h, it was so comfortable and I love my car more.

One more thing, I apply the AutoFoam on Saturday, Sunday morning immediately can feel more improvement compare to Sunday. It is true because my previous Toyota Vios also had the same result.

Aiya, Squareballs bro,
You did before our Raya Promo. tongue.gif . Pop by, will do something for you.

Oec88,
White Magic is Fantastic thumbup.gif.
But i do not rec you apply a second layer on the treatred areas but maybe on other new areas .
A common mistake in Soundproofing is thinking that More is Better. Getting the right Balance is more effective and satisfying.
Do a day trip down when free and i will do something for the pillars for you...without adding anything!!! icon_idea.gif

Great to see all my LYN bros enjoying AutoFoam and our soundproofing solutions. Enjoy and drive Safe ( esp. you, Elton boy notworthy.gif ).

For other bros, NOW is a fantastic time to enjoy the luxury feel with our Raya Promo ( ends 30 Sept 10)

1/3 the Weight
2/3 the Cost
DOUBLE YOUR SATISFACTION !!!


Common soundproofing practice of slapping heavy and costly damping mats all over and applying double and even triple layers are over!

This OLD technique is good for damping panel vibrations for external traffic noise but does very little for the irritating Road, Tire and engine roar. Esp the air turbulence noise that most ppl mistake for Wind noise.
Worse still, when wrongly applied can cause pressure and ear irritation and accentuate tire noise.
We should know as we were guilty of this ourselves but true to our customer satisfaction policy, we have recalled and rectified with our new proprietary SP formula.

Our new KLAUTO SP packages treats targeted areas with specific materials for maximum effect.

Kilo for Kilo...
Dollar for Dollar...
We GUARANTEE you the BEST soundproof solutions.

Read the first page to the latest post twice today, want to do but no money to do. Might need to wait till end of the year or late next month.Guess I'm a little too late for the below package. Dessy, I want discount/freebies, can la, I'm a fresh grad and earning not much. Please please please. Hehe.

Anyway, I'm driving a Toyota EE90, I believe its a hatchnack like the Wira. My problem is noise! I like cornering, so installing Autofoam will definitely be a bonus for me, its like hitting two birds with one foam.  cool2.gif

Can give me multiple quote so I can save up some cash and dream on it for this few weeks. PM me k

Hi guys,

Sorry MIA.

BHQ91,
Yes, Short Wheel Based 4X4 are generally not comfortable. If budget permits, look at AF Ultimate package.
If you want to go step by step, do the Comfort package which treats the complete Under chassis and frames from the Engine bay all the way to the boot.
Pop by and see whether you have a Ladder chassis and will give you a good deal.


Glock 88,
For the Waja, we have a Fantastic Stage 1 package that is Tested and Proven.
1) Roar Buster for Wheel arches, Fenders and A pillars. (Fantastic for Engine, tire and Road roar.)
2) AutoFoam C pillars and Soundproof rear parcel shelf ( for the Surround Noise..significantly reduces the overall noise in the cabin)
3) AutoFoam Comfort. ( Improves the overall Ride comfort, Hi speed noise and Handling)

Packages can be done seperately but if you want a REAL Bang, do all 3.
Some more, will give a nice package Deal. Rm 1660.

NoiZy,
Budget from Rm 680 to Rm 2080.
Can do in stages to feel the improvements incrementaly.


Thunder_God,
Long time, No see. Pop by when free.

this is only my own opinion, nothing more nothing less..
my concerns
1) If installed autofoam, what will happen if one get into accident?  how much does it affects re-knocking of a damaged area been foamed?

2) what will happen to my car's crumpled zone that my car manufacturer spent millions in designing it to save me or my passager during accident?

3) too stiff a car can deteriorate independent suspension performance, and ultimately cause an inside tire to lift off the ground during hard cornering.

4) Autofoam can be a  major tuning element in reducing excessive understeer or oversteer. Used incorrectly it can also cause it.

Not to say that auto foam is no good, i believe it does wonders to noise control but playing around with the car's structure/skeleton is the last thing on my mind for now.

no offense, its my own naive view.

Hi tom_kkh,

Interesting questions from a "naive" person...

1) AutoFoam treats the Chassis frames NOT body panels. For body panels like doors, mudguards..you can beat it back to shape.
To repair chassis frames, one needs to
a) Cut and Weld
b) heat and pull ( re-jig) the frames.

That is why we streassed for ANY chassis foaming...it has to be FIRE-RETARDANT. AutoFoam is rated B2 Fire retardant (same as Nomex suit).
check this out...
http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/index....&id=5&Itemid=72

2) The topic that was debated years ago. If got a chance, have a look at the latest Aston Martin DB9, BMW 7 series and check out the Side sills, undercahassis.
They are fully treated. you will find the foam that Aston Martin uses is similar to AutoFoam Original.
http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/index....ation&Itemid=27

Refer to manufacturers studies on how GENUINE foam treatment can assist the crumple zone..
http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/index....id=53&Itemid=77

Enclosed a excert from a study by a Thai University on how Higher density Chassis Foam helps increase the car's energy absorption in the event of a crash.

"CONCLUSION
The present study reveals the failure characteristic of
foam-filled tubes. It was found that the number of folds
in deformed tube is increasing as the density of foam
increases. In addition, the result suggests that the tube
tends to absorb more energy as the density of foam
increases. However, considering the structural weight,
the result indicates that the 200 kg m-3 foam-filled tube
offer highest specific energy absorption. This implies the
mentioned tube may be the most crashworthy element.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This research was granted by the Office of the
Higher Education Commission, Thailand under the
program Strategic Scholarships for Frontier Research
Network for the Ph.D. program, together with Ubon
Ratchathani University, Thailand.
"

3) If this is the case, why are Subaru Sti, Civic Typre Rs, Evo MRs chassis are always stonger and stiffer than its cheaper everyday sedan...sometimes up to 70%stiffer.
Do not confuse Chassis stiffness with suspension stiffness.
A stronger chassis is ALWAYS more
a) COMFORTABLE
b) RESPONSIVE
than a soft sloppy chassis. Stiffer, stronger body always costs More!!!

4) Absolutely Correct !!!
Foam treatment if done by inexperienced, untrained ppl or unsrupulous traders using cheap House-hold foam will do JUST that...F##K up your ride.
1) KL AUTO started Foam treatment in 1999.
2) We have treated Aston Martins, Porsches, AMG Mercs, BMW M cars, Lexus both in Malaysia and Singapore.
3) Petronas have audited our product and used it on their PAT Expedition teams to Himalayas in 2006 and AGAIN to Nusatara volcanoes.
4) I was trained by Bellco ( Japan ) and Germany on proper Foam treatment methodoly, technique and protocol.

Feel free to post your queries or better still, pop by for a First-hand understanding on GENUINE Chassis Foam treatment.

Hi limkeong,

It has been a while but i think i remember you....( i better do coz it is no joke standing 5 hrs watching notworthy.gif )

My apologies if there were a few clips missing. Should have let us know when you came back for your clean-up as we will immediately replace for you.

As for burying wires...foaming will inadvertantly touch some wires but we do not bury the Connectors, Molex which is far more important.
For electrical repair, one normally needs only to check the connectors, not the actual wire itself.

Yes, good chassis stiffening bars work. A more rigid chassis is always better than a sloppy one...( esp. when one corners at 180 km in a 10+ year car)
That is why we carry Summit Aluiminium bars, Cusco, UR etc.
In fact, we always rec. a good Front Strut bar together with AutoFoam for a sharper steering and feedback.

Good to see you enjoying Autofoam and pop by...let me buy you a nice Milo-Ping. smile.gif

Hi guys,

Sorry MIA for so long.

We now have THE MOST EFFECTIVE soundproofing solution for our Malaysian roads. Full Stop!
( that is why i dissapeard for so long....perfecting the best SP solutions for you smile.gif )

The common complaint about Tire, Road and Wind noise is mainly due to our "UNIQUE" roads.
Certain stretche on the same road are smooth and quiet and suddenly on certain stretches....it is like you are in a train!!!

The popular practice of applying layers of heavy and expensive Dynamat-like material on every body panel is good for damping panel vibrations.
Very effective for external traffic and low frequency noise but does NOT help with high frequency noise.
In fact, indiscriminate use of these heavy damping mats CAN and WILL accentuate and amplify Tire, Road and Wind noise !. ( as bro michaelconan discovered with his previous SP job)

After extensive R&D, we now target 6 critical areas to offer you the best Bang for Buck SP solution.

We treat this 6 critical ares where noise intrudes into the cabin with Dedicated solutions for different Noise frequencies ...
+ AutoFOAM for resonance and high frequency noise as well as stiffening the chassis for improved Ride Comfort.
+ 3M WHITE MAGIC / ROAR BUSTER for the critical Mid to High frequencies.
+ InsuMAT for Mid frequencies.
+ GSI (US) and Wurth damping mats for the Low/Mid frequencies.

The result.....You get a dramatically Quieter and more Comfortable car, with significantly less weight penalty.......
And you Pay Less for a LOT More !!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PROMO for A REAL kind of QUIET.
Much Quieter, Lighter....Costs Less !!!

Hi E_k1117,

We do not like to talk about other ppl's products but since you asked....

Firstly, it is very difficult to tell the difference between genuine Automotive Foam and INFERIOR ( house-hold) Foam unless you have side by side samples for comparism.
Do the tests as in the below link and you will appreciate the vast differences between Genuine and Fake.
http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/index....riginalautofoam

Pop by to our store for a First -Hand feel of both Genuine and Inferior ones...you will be shocked!

And as for pricing or being "cheaper".. clever marketing as they only treat 2 sections of the under-chassis with house-hold foam whereas we treat 6 sections of the car's under-chassis with Automotive Foam.
http://www.autofoam.com.my/autofoam/index....oam/bewarefakes

KL AUTO has AutoFOAMed cars from the little Kancils to Aston Martins both here in Malaysia ansd Singapore since 1999.
We offer a 10 year warranty on all AutoFOAM treatments.

Foam treating a Chassis is an IRREVERSIBLE process that can only be done ONCE in the car's lifetime.
Do it Right !!!

Cheers,

Des

Mahihi,

Sorry for late ( as usual smile.gif

To answer your question, lets apply the basic Law of Physics...
Energy cannot be destroyed. Energy is either converted or transform.

1) For stiff suspension, you need a stronger Chassis for it to perform to its true potential.
That is why cars like EVO, STis, Type Rs all have stiffened Chassis to cope with thier Sports suspension.
So a Stiffer chassis improves Handling...esp. those with Sports suspension.

@0 AutoFOAM is rigid ( NOT solid) foam that absorbs energy .
This will help Improve your Comfort levels tremendously.

2) AutoFOAM FOLLOWs and treats the complete chassis UNLIKE bars that will only specific areas.
The feel is more "organic" and "natural". You will feel the Car as ONE.

Call me for more info.

Cheers,

WOW so much happening here. smile.gif Must come in more often.

Very interesting....we hava someone here selling his own Foam ( probably house-hold type) product, advertising his product in another thread here on 22/8/11 and another stating he is not fully satisfied with his AutoFoam-ed car on 24/8/11.

All seems a bit too ???..... if i were the suspicious type...

OK, lets look at everything in Good Faith and constructively. Our motto is to Always Have Happy Customers smile.gif ...

Cuckoo Bird,

You find the Vios too "stiff" after you did AutoFOAM Comfort and B pillars.
1) This is strange coz this are the areas where the latest BMW 7 series are treated.
2) We apply our Original formula ( 27kg/cbm) here which is the lower density formula to improve Ride Comfort. This has been Proven since 2001. Even Saladin Mazlan finds his Subaru Rally car more "comfortable" after Comfort package. Petronas Adventure Team (PAT) used us for their Expedition trucks.
For those interested , we have 2 formulas , ORIGINAL and RACE( 45kg/cbm) for different sections of the car for specific purpose.

Some "Dr. House" questions to help me help you...
1) Are you on Stock suspension? Is so, how OLD? ( yr car is older than 3 years, rite?)
2) Do you have additional Bars esp. lower body bars?
3) Did you come by and check with us after you experience this as sometimes we need to remove excess foam which may seep into certain suspension parts.

Kindly contact me and set up a appointment for us to help rectify your problem asap.
( Yes, it can be done ...by Experienced professionals ppl who have been doing it for the last 12 years.)

BukanMain,

What is your Vios friend not happy about?
I read he is on Coilovers. As we all know, most Coilovers are really NOT suitable for our great Msian roads.
If he is not happy with his Ride Comfort, he should look at his COIL-OVERS first.
Kindly inform your friend to pop by for us to check for Over-flow.

For those looking to upgrade or improve their rides...

AutoFOAM , Soundproofing alone can help make cars Quiet-ER, M.O.R.E. Comfortable BUT will NOT transform a Vios to a BMW. ( i wish it could...i will be Rich. Every car manufacturer will want me. rclxms.gif )

Good Tires WITH Proper Alignment, well designed Suspension from reputable international brands like TRD, KONI FSD, Bilstein, Ohlins can help make cars Bet-TER but will still NOT transform a Vios to BMW.

Warning: Cap Ayams or un-tested brands or products..normally give adverse effect.

ANY of the above mods will HELP you Enjoy your Ride More...till you buy your BM.

Cheers,

Sure.
Pop by and try Loong's AutoFOAMed Track packaged car. He will take you through our little "test-track" where you will find ALL KL's worst roads for you to feel.

Loong's Persona is FULLY AutoFOAMed. If AutoFOAM really makes a car harsher, his Persona should feel like a Tractor biggrin.gif .
Go through the route, then take your car through the same and you decide.

However, if your car is New, i suggest you do NOT do anything for 2 weeks to fully understand and feel your new baby. You may even enjoy it so much, you may find you do Not need to do any enhancements.

But do come by and test our Persona....then you will know how Much better a Persona can be.

Cheers,

Samwong,

Go to our www.autofoam.com.my or visit facebook/Autofoam for address and GPS coordinates. we are behind Grand Seasons hotel oppo KL Hospital, Jln. Pahang roundabout.

Cuckoo-bird,

Very good, then. Appreciate your comments and that is why i invite you to come back.

Yes, suspension do not deteriote overnite but i need to know your car's condition before we can help you. We had cases where a simple link-rod, anti-roll bush changed the whole character of the car. Owner went over a crater of a Pot-Hole.

To ensure that the Chassis is fully treated, we flood the chassis. After a while, excess will seep out and may be lodged in the springs, arms etc and thus impeding its movements. That is why we always remind you guys to come back after 10 days for a Check up. If you are o/station, have the car hoisted/jacked and cut off any excesses that may have gone to the suspension..

Also arrange a drive in a similar car to yours on the same stretch of road to appreciate AutoFOAM's improvements. Sometimes after Chili Padi, one needs to taste regular Chili biggrin.gif .

Cheers,

Des

Hi guys,

In forums, where everyone goes by colorful Nick-names, we really do not know Who is Who.
I may have got a little "suspicious". My apologies if i offended anyone here.

For the record, I VALUE feedback, both Good and Bad. Only then, can improvements and progress be made. Open forums, like here, Autoworld, Car-clubs, whether sponsored or not are just that...OPEN. Anyone can have their say... Good or Bad.

After analysing the the car type and package sequeance, I think i know who Cuckoo -Bird is...a genuine AutoFOAM customer from Penang, whom i find a nice guy.

Any Bona-Fide business, esp. one as long and established as ours, do not want to see their clients not Fully satisfied with their products and services. I will personally do my best to solve your problem, within reason. ( like we did with your pressured cabin thumbup.gif Unfortunately, since you are too far, we will try do this by "remote wink.gif.

Do keep me informed on the solution i gave earlier.

Drex, good to see you here. Long time no see, must arrange a drink, bro.

Cheers and happy holidays.
