that will add a bit of deadening/insulation itself.
a lot of guys say they want to hear the throaty roar etc.
but between the incredible wind noise
the rattles and squeaks
and the engine
i cant hear myself think!
eventually i would like to have music in this car.
just because it looks barebones/old school
doesnt mean i cant have a heater ,tunes and be comfy.

I'm with you. I gotta be warm, and I gotta have my tunes. That open header stuff is cool for a few mins, but I ain't 20 anymore. Mine isn't quiet but you can listen to the radio and it doesn't drive you nuts after a few mins. I have found as I have gotten older the noise that I used to like, IE race cars, open headers, loud rock and metal, now just puts me on edge after a bit. I can't even listen to a whole ac/dc CD anymore. After about 3 or 4 songs the beat just gets me edgy, and not in a good way. Loud exhaust does the same thing to me. I used to drive around a gutted 55 Chevy, ex drag car, open headers and no radio...................... loved it. Now I'd shoot my self after about 20 mins.................... Ain't getting older fun..................................
