if your car already got UR bars, putting this auto foam not going to give big improvement in terms of chassis rigidity, it may reduce some engine noise going into the cabin but when the engine noise is reduced, you will note that other noise will be more prominent

Consumers got misled because there are many indirect advertisement in the form of paid reviews in youtube, newspapers and i am not surprised, forummers too

No no. Don't get this wrong. It is not sound insulation. It will reduce chassis noise. That means anything that vibrates through the wheel to the hub to the connecting arms to the bushings to the chassis. Or engine vibration to the chassis. That means the small vibrations that creates noise will be damped or eliminated.

If you want to block off all noise not caused by vibrations use sound dampening foam panels or blocks installed at strategic locations.

More advanced methods makes use of different thickness of metal for welding points on panels to reduce overall noise.

The only thing i do not agree to this foam is increasing safety. Because this product already existed more than 10 years. Not even the company that made the brand of this stuff had a sacrificial car to test and prove their claims. Whats more sending the car to be tested by road safety like ANCAP or Euro NCAP and such.

the only thing i felt is reduced noise each time the a/c compressor kicks, that's all, in terms of vibration, it should be reduced through use of mountings and bushings, this foam not going to reduce those noises, and yes, i spent rm800 in my alza for this

did you felt less body roll when turning ??

no, rm800 package only fill up the two tunnel at the bottom of the car, how do you expect this will reduce body roll?
