Integrate the <joint density> in $u$. Symmetry gives $f(-u)g(-uv)=f(u)g(uv)$, so the integrand $|u|f(u)g(uv)$ is even. Hence
$$
\boxed{f_V(v)=\int_{\mathbb R}|u|f(u)g(uv)du=2\int_0^\infty uf(u)g(uv)du.}
$$
<Tonelli's theorem> justifies marginalization for these nonnegative <probability density function>[densities].
