Only way my wife will ride in the car is if I use alot of 4th and 5th gears and lug it , no rapid acceleration when noise kicks in, same when revving it over 3,000 rpm as to loud then too, so keep it at lower rpm's ....when I do all the above it is quiet enough and she will ride in it ! she objects to ear plugs which is another alternative. So, when I do all of the above it is like cruising in a YUGO ... a quiet Yugo ! Good luck. Another alternative is to go to Midas Muffler and have some super quiet mufflers installed to replace the side pipes...NAH....B
