Hi Michael. I would expect that it would work much better under the car
where the foil faces the heat. I know the Dynamat sticks well, I just wonder
about having anything glued under the floor where water ingress could happen
and set up rust. Mind you with all that heat under there it would probably
dry out quickly :) perhaps not an issue on the under side or the tunnel.
Cheers
Larry

When I installed dynamat in my 100 I sandwiched both the floor under the
driver's seat and the transmission tunnel with creating a very effective
heat barrier.

powered Vanguard ute extensively. The small cabin has tremendous heat build
up, and it is really no better with the Dynamat. I found it was great for
noise insulation, which reduced dramatically, however the floors above the
mufflers got just as hot as before installing it. It is an excellent product
to use, it bonds and forms well over the steel, but for heat insulation it
would need to be on the outside of the car rather than the inside, in my
opinion.
