Here is a good website that explains it all: https://www.sounddeadenershowdown.co...-vehicle-quiet

You can get it all online. The issue is that MLV is heavy. You can get different pounds per square foot but the shipping is what kills you. If you can find it locally you are golden.

Its kinda hard to work the MLV in tighter spots and depending on what you have close to the floor you might have some clearance issues (gas peddle). Ideally you would want it completely connected. I have used it on other people cars and it makes a huge difference.
That first thread is interesting. Three layers though?! I'd be worried about how it all fit back together. Especially on the roof which I desperately need to do. Need to do all of it really. Even after quieting the exhaust down it's tough to talk to my wife, especially when she rides in the back with my daughter.

And will any of that stuff that he used help with heat? I get a lot of heat from the firewall and front floor. I have a cigarette lighter usb charger for my phone that displays volts and temp. (I dunno why it shows air temp but it does so ok) and it settles in around 107 degrees if it's not too hot out. So a couple of feet away from the firewall and a couple of feet off of the floor, it's getting HOT!
