How much quieter did it get?

Smoother flow and greater aero efficiency would make less wind noise under the car, less engine noise since less throttle is needed for propulsion, and the coroplast acting as an insulator/reflector of noise away from the car body. In theory.

Can you hazard a guess as to decibel reduction?

How durable and fireproof has the coroplast proven to be? In other words, what shape is it in after a couple of years of driving? Or, am I gonna have to shinny under the car constantly to mess with this stuff?
