Message	Honestly, you did great research and I'm glad you are happy with your results. The Z is not loud inside. I have B&B and it still isn't loud inside. I wish it were louder. To me it is silly to try and make it silent inside the cabin when one of the best features of a high performance car is the sounds it makes. The sound of the motor, the sound of the exhaust, the sound of the tires on the edge of adhesion, etc. Why would you want to rob yourself of these sounds? It's not a Lexus. It's not meant to be a vault. Later, Spencer AIM: sbsTT14 PETZ member #4 '91 300ZX TT Stage IV+ '96 Jeep Cherokee Sport "That's what it's all about bro. Definition.
