Give it at least a month of solid driving. Toss in the carpet in the back like I did and you will get used to it. The carpet reduced the noise a little bit. However, top down, it won't make a ounce of difference :P

Would love to hear it. Did you guys meet up today?
Yeah, Steve and I met so he could hear the exhaust.

I dunno about the whole top down and the mat not making a difference. I don't think it will be a cure all but since there does not seam to be as much drone when standing outside, I can only assume a lot of it is coming from resonance of some of the metal (trunk pan, etc) and that's why I really hear the majority of it in the car. Just a theory, we'll see.
