will sound deadening help with the exhaust noise?
Im thinking of putting some sound deadening in the trunk and rear of the car to help with the exhaust sound. It sounds fine from the outside but from the inside the deep sound and vibration is too loud. If you have done this with your Evo let me know if it helped.

i have used a sound deadner for a sub setup in a honda of mine. it went under the spare, and on the top of the bottom of the trunck lid. i bet it would work for you, and maybe weighed 40 lbs or so. i got it pre cut at a local steroe shop, stipped the wax paper off of the back to the adhesive, and then i put it on. cost ma about 80 bucks, and a couple of hours.

I just added a good 50 lbs to my car by using Fatmat in the trunk and the complete interior including the front doors. I removed EVERYTHING. Seats, carpet, console, etc. came out and I deadened the crap out of it. My stereo sounds better and you can't hear my exhaust at all unless I get into the the throttle. I like it. If I want to get back to stock weight I can always remove the spare and trunk trim.

Wait a minute, if it is the Greddy Ti, forget about sound deadening. That thing is loud and because of the thin-walled construction of the exhuast, the sound is almost everywhere around the car. Good luck,

The deal is in the fact you said "deep sound". These deep sounds is low frequency waves which travel through just about everything. You'll need some serious undercoating as well as carefully researched material deadening points.
I'd just dyna-mat the car like you want to put a good stereo in it. You'll still hear the exhaust but it won't be so bad.

Just give it a week or two and maybe you will get used to it. I have an RS which has no sound insulation whatsoever and I don't mind it at all. But I guess everyone has a different tolerance level. Are you using the stock DP and cat?
