Earplugs already...... and tbh its great

[CooperS]

Yep, use my car everyday and with the stage 2 exhaust i gave in.

TBH its not cut out all the noise but just those tiresome noises which is great!

You can hear the radio still and 70% of the engine but it cuts out tyre roar, wind and other general.

Anybody else use ear plugs?

For motorway driving I use noise cancelling earphones, either with my MP3 player or just to block out some of the racket. It makes long motorway drives so much more pleasant, and means my ears aren't ringing loudly on arrival.

Same as Phil, I use them on long slogs. I bought some from the earplug shop online: less than a tenner and they do a great job: cut a lot of the backround crap out and let the music from the stereo through.

I used earplugs for many years when riding bikes, and thought it would be so lovely to drive car and not need them

I mix it up, though. I have a bog standard S1 and so it only gets really loud if on long motorway journeys.

As I found when biking, the problem is when you get some petrol, or stop to eat.....you either leave them in and have problems talking, or remove them and get so much crap on them they can be a serious ear infection risk to put back in.

More an issue on the bike, though, with its 110 mile range.....

Ah good, yer, tbh it never really gets THAT bad but it can drone and is nice that my 10 quid earplugs go some way to cutting out the rubbish.

I think that I’ll leave the induction kit for when I’m fully lotus hardened.

You're wimps the lot of you.

With my wife, I've just driven our Exige 2,500 miles around Europe (south of France, Italy and through Swittzerland back over three(?) fab mountain passes) - no complaints about the car noises though she has used earplugs for a few years to quiet my snoring. My ears were ringing for a day or so though i have to admit!

The car ran faultlessly - it's now due a service - except for loosing the front number plate on day one to the french autoroute courtesy of a now deceased parrot or similar.
