Never bothered me, coming from a roadster, but leaving the car, I don't miss the white noise.

Exactly. I'd rather my engine be louder than my tires. I'm not talking WOT, but pretty much anytime you are maintaining a constant speed on a road or highway, the tires are significantly louder than the engine. I'm used to shifting by ear and I often find my self forgetting to upshift since I can't even hear that my engine is cruising at 4k rpms. Though I'm sure this won't be an issue as soon as I put an exhaust put on this thing.

For that reason, the road noise kinda gets to me at times, but never so bad that I would add a bunch of dampening mats to the car(though I can certainly understand people that choose to do that). I plan to try to lighten my car as much as reasonably possible for a daily driver as I continue to modify my car, so that kinda goes against my philosophy.

hmmm. Not a problem with the HKS exhaust and the Berk's!
