Most people overlook the tires .... arguably the biggest contributor to noise in this car.
PS2s and ContiSport IIs are quiet. GS-D3 also start out quiet (as do most tires). T1S's and 555s never seemed to be quiet for me though.
I will admit that when my car went back to stock ... I was amazed how much quieter and more liveable it was. I took off JWT, Kinetix, and Borla TD and I put a bunch of the panels back in the trunk area. The tires were stilll loud, but I'd bet there was a 6-9dB reduction in overall noise level.
