If you don't think this car is noisy inside then this isn't the thread for you. Find another thread!
P.S. I just got finished with Dyanamatting the rear hatch area and also some Luxury Liner Pro over some key areas that sound like a tin drum when you tap on them. Noise level is definitely better. Not satisfied yet though. I plan to do the doors next.

This thread was started so that those of us that want to quiet their car's cabin down can share our ideas on how to accomplish this. I've done a few things and the car is now livable. It's not as quiet as my Corvette and is about as loud as my Pontiac. All vehicles have mellow performance exhaust in them however, until my FatMat installation the Z was not a great car to go on long trips with my wife. We ended up yelling at each other over the road noise. Now, we are not screaming at each other and can talk at a slighly elevated level but, the car could still use some improvements. Right now, the Z is acceptable and our trips out of town are nice .... we plan on taking this to the next level and making the car one that we don't have to reaise our voices in. That is our ultimate goal. I do not think that is too much to ask for out of a $35-40K sports touring car. Yes, we could have bought a G for a few thousand more however, it just doesn't make our hearts race like the Z car does.
