Have you tried dropping her off at the mall?
It certainly dampens the sound in my Camaro, just don't forget to pick her up again.
Only did that once, i swear.

Im pulling the fact that you want cheap and easy solution to exhaust. J pipes like the solo exhaust will definitely silence her a little and there will be no drone sound but they are expensive. Cutouts alone will not help because they are used to make a quiet exhaust louder when you want and they too can be very expensive fo quality kits. Mufflers and cutouts will work as well. Mufflers to quiet it down but cutouts to make it loud as you want. Again expensive to do. I went with sound resonators in line with the exhaust. They are relatively cheap and there are levels to choose from. I went with these from Summit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-1792
but I tried these first https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-1141. I went with the former because the Ultra was too quiet. The bottle style quietted it down a bit and made my exhaust loud enough with a nice rumble still but not obnoxious at all. Mind you , I now have long tubes and cat delete. I have solo's as well. Without the resonators my car was literally nascar loud. Now my girl appreciates the drive and I love the sound especially at WOT. Very cheap solution and easy to install.

This looks promising. My mechanic specializes in race cars. I will ask him about these! I haven't talked to him about the car yet.

Anyone used either of these cup holders?

I have that second one. It's not bad. I still use it from time to time, but the cup wells are not deep enough for anything larger- like a large iced coffee. Someone has to keep an eye on it.

Also, the leather wrap comes loose. I had to re-glue it once. It hasn't happened since though.
