Default Body Insulation Question

When I replaced the interior I installed doulble foil backed insulation (the type you see sold at the car shows and you can buy at Lowes or Home depot cheaper) on the floor and tunnel to help keep out unwanted heat. Well a fellow told me that you can buy insulation that can be installed under the car as well. There is a heat shield under the passenger side but I have installed true duals and since there is no shield on the driver's side I would like to look into this new insulation for using under the cars. Has anyone used this type product and where would one find it? It seems that a lot of the forum member know of products and sources that I haven't seen or heard of yet. The information will be appreciated!!!!
