Default Old Guy - Exhaust *too loud* for me

Looking to replace my 328 convertible, I had a look at a 350Z roadster (pure stock). I like the car, but (yes I am crazy ) I hate the exhaust note.
My days for Vrooom Vrooom Vrooooom !! have past, but yes I still appreciate the quick, top down, responsive driving the Z offers.

So.. Before I cross the Z off my shopping list , is there any way to do the exact opposite of what everyone else here wants, a way to QUIET DOWN the (stock?) exhaust system?

Thanks !!

Soundproofing the cabin is another option.

Add a turbo. It will act as an additional resonator

I agree, it does have the best tone of any v6 I've heard except a 911.

How did that help with all of the road noise?

I have the whole back layered up with Dynamat as well. It helps ALOT with road noise and exhaust sound.

Add an extra resonator on the piping or add a silencer on one of the exhaust tip.

Much of your hearing will be diminished soon. Good thing I'm only 65 because I'm planning to replace my muffler with straight through pipes

Andre got banned? lol i missed that one...wow, even getting hate from the mods lmao

As for OP, +1 on adding another resonator to stock exhaust. Any muffler shop should be able to do this for cheap. Not sure why i didnt think of this.
