Buy a car that was meant to be quiet lol

 

+1 I get the same complaints and I always tell my friends if they want peace and quiet ask someone else to drive them around! These cars are not made for a luxurious ride on the inside.

 

Personally I had the same problem and I switched to a quieter exhaust and hfc. If you don't want to do that, look into a varex muffler. My buddy has one on his STi and it seems to work pretty well. I personally think it sounds like crap and don't trust the window motor actuator mechanism.

 

Sounds like a quick and easy solution, will adding a resonator sacrifice any performance to the exhaust?

 

well to quiet my exhaust down im full 3" turbo back but i added in line post 1pc downpipe , is i added 2 18" preforated style resonators into the catback quieted it down a lot at higher speed lower rpms...

 

I have read through all the suggestions but the best idea is either the passengers ride quiety or gtfo ... lol. Unless they are loved ones ... then ur just stuck lol

 

A RTP makes a huge difference..

 

There's a ton of threads on here on how to quiet your exhaust without lots of restriction. It boils down to a good muffler in back and where the cat goes. Dynamat helps with general road noise, but not much for exhaust noise.

 

I'm still surprised this thread is still alive. I took JAC 06 MR's advice. If people complain, I tell them to stfu or gtfo lol. I appreciate all the suggestions btw!

 

This is a very common complaint. It's not surprising that folks are interested in a solution. Unfortunately, there are none short of replacing the exhaust, adding a lot of weight, or simply not caring.
