OK - so I'm 38 and driving a car usually known to be driven by those a lot younger - whatever.
Most of my friends own BMWs or other more luxury vehicles. I'm not impressed nor do I care.......but, I do know that my car is loud. I have the hands free on my cell phone, everyone tells me I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel. It's not the phone, it's the car. OK, the Injen Intake a 3" catback exhaust add to a real nice sound, but it's killer when I'm trying to talk and listen on the phone. Anyone have a similar problem? Anyone else solve it? In the olden days, OK showing my age again, like when I bought my first New Celi - 1991 - they put on Undercoating - it was an option and it made a big difference. Not avail now and I can't seem to find a solution -anyone? |

Dynamat actually doesn't help much to reduce road noise...it's a lot better for making panels rattle a lot less. A foam such as ensolite works much better...if you put some under your carpet and then spray the underside of your car and your inner fender wells with rubberized undercoating, that should make a difference.
But really, the best solution will probably be to get an exhaust system that sounds like it's stock. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
