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?

Winter tires have a huge effect on sound. When I switched from my Z rated goodyears to the studded snow tires, it sucked. But our cars are going to be loud anyway. Car and Drivers biggest problem with the car was it was loud, talking about engine and exhaust. Rhyno line the bottem of the car. <- I'm just guessing with this idea, any one think this would actually work though?
