Here's the thing, what's acceptable road noise is all relative. I know that my tires have a big play in it, but I've also come to terms that summer tires are going to be noisy. There's a difference between mechanical noise from an intake or exhaust and just plain road noise. The majority of the roads I drive on are concrete and you literally have to yell at your passenger when going down the highway at 70mph. That, to me, is horrendous. With an exhaust or intake, I can control the noise the car makes...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for anything near g37 quiet, I'm just looking to tone it down and eliminate some of the "hollowness". BTW my car is 100% stock. Adding 30-35lbs of sound deadening is OK with me. I'll take that over putting the mushy DWS on my Z. (Had them on my Altima and hated the soft sidewalls. they were quiet though)
