With 5 litres under the bonnet, this subject has a special interest for me.
If I was looking for the easiest, cost no object solution, I'd go with the
pre-cut Kool Mat option: http://www.koolmat.com/british.shtml As has been
said, sound insulation and heat insulation are two different matters. I'm
more concerned about heat. Like Len, a lifetime of loud rock, guns, and high
performance motors with no exhausts have rendered sound protection moot, but I
still can feel hot feet. LizardSkin looks like a great, but somewhat pricey,
solution. Basically, it's ceramic "micro balloons" suspended in a paint
product. I made my own DIY version that you can see on my Nasty Boy build on
my sig. I also did the low-buck big box insulation using Reflectix as shown
in the build link as well. Another popular cheap insulation in the hot rod
community is this LowE closed cell insulation from Lowbucrod:

alternatives, but I've only driven it in November in New England, which
probably isn't much of a test.

Richard: Yes, there has been much discussion and numerous recommendations.
Personally, I am using a foil/foam heating/AC duct product available at home
improvement stores such as Home Depot or Lowes. It is self-adhesive, foil
backed dense foam, 12 inches wide, 1/8 inch thick, 15 feet long, and costs
less than $20.00 per roll.
I covered both the inside and outside of the tyranny tunnel and can not feel
any heat being transmitted in that area.
Can not comment on sound barrier. When it get too noisy (is that possible?
;-) ), I can just turn off my hearing aids. That is seldom necessary,
however, as I love all the sounds that I am hearing from my car.
