Fabspeed Exhaust -- Too Loud?

:ah:

Yes, I know...I never thought I'd hear myself saying that my exhaust is too loud either. From what I've read, no one else has seemed to think Fabspeed makes an excessively loud muffler either -- so I feel even more gimpy.

I had a Fabspeed Maxflow system bolted in along with their cold air filter. The feel is great...the sound quality is nice...but at any point in time when acceleration is occurring, the radio can no longer be clearly heard, and conversation is difficult. I know my girlfriend is not going to like what I've done when she next sits in it.

The sound is fine for the right mood, but on a normal basis, extended exposure is going to result in a headache...either from the sound, or the complaining passenger. And I even have the hard top on currently. The place that installed it says they double checked to make sure there were no gaps in the installation.

Has anyone had any experience with either a silencer or somehow adding a functional soundproofing to the interior?

Thanks for any advice!
