Just used this duct insulation I bought at the hode-po, it is exactly enough to do a B body roof, self adhesive butyl with foil back

1. If you are trying to keep heat inside the car. keep the reflective foil, it in that application it does not do an ideal job keeping it out
2. If you want sound inside not to reflected back down off the roof, or to be absorbed, best to remove the foil
3. If you remove the foil, until covered with a non-breathable material, your car inside will forever be exposed fiberglass particles for breathing and itching.
4. A foam is a better solution but has costs, possible burning issues and a limited lifespan.
5. Jute works well but is the heaviest
It does look nice.

Packaging says it's made from foam.
Yup your right it is a dense foam that looks like butyl.

That is unusual for duct insulation and a real plus here. I missed the "foam" behind the packaging reflection, my mistake.
Reflective foil concerns still remain however.
And if a butyl? foam, it has normally a long service life

I dig the budget insulation approach, but the best part of this picture is the car is on a rotisserie but already has the trunk divider in place.
I just picked up some jute padding off Ebay for mine. A decent price at $19/yard and free shipping. In my case, I'm less concerned about heat, and more interested in sound-reduction.
I just finished the process of cleaning up the roof, and letting the sun iron out the wrinkles in the headliner. Hopefully, I'll be breaking out the contact cement this weekend to install the jute.
Good luck on your project!

Has anyone used the AMD insulation stuff on the floor boards or roof? I'm not there yet, but since my wife doesn't want me to add AC, I want max heat insulation for the roof/headliner & sound deadening.
The inside of the trunk is painted, so I am trying to keep it clean in there
I have read threads of guys using thicker duct insulation on the floors and trunk divider, I will probably do that too instead of using dynamat again.
I will use the jute pad on the floor. I think I will go RJs route with the roof.
