1.Take a sheet of soundproofing
2. Cut into 2 small inch square sections, and a circular section 4 inches square
3. Get into vehicle placing wife in the passenger seat
4. Insert the 2 small sections in her ears.
5 If she complains, insert the larger section in her mouth.

Job done.

I'd get a quieter exhaust...because...

a) Loud exhausts are ghey
b) Sound proofing weighs a tonne and will make your car heavier and therefore slower

Easy choice IMHO, H&S Scooby Sport Exhaust

This is what you need I have it on my car (MY53 STi) and it also has a good side effect in that it makes you feel that your suspension has softened up a bit as it absorbs vibrations. More expensive than Dynamat, etc but worth it. Cost me c£240 full car fitted but that was a few years ago.
