Went for a 50 mile spin today. The car drove well and I had no problems. Although it is a bit less loud, the car is still race car loud. I was wearing both ear plugs and muffs and it’s a bit much. It saddens me to try to dampen the noise, but I have to consider doing something more. I might try tundra’s solution above as it’s not expensive.

An interesting note. While filling up with gas, a Corvette C8 owner good-naturedly started giving me grief for pulling up in a car “cooler” than his. What can I say?
