Get the kids earplugs?

I don't think it'll work... If I could have a quieter than stock that would give more power (like the EP2), that would be even better.

I have Kevin's tune on my X50, UMW springs on the wastegates and a 100 cell cat Speedtech exhaust. No idea how much more power I'm putting down, but the car is freaking fast. Once Into 4th and 5th gear over 4000 RPM, I'll see 1.2 - 1.3 Bar (race blend gas @ 75 deg F, AZ has crappy gas) the car pulls like a freight train.

I've got a stock X50 Cabrio and I still giggle when I do any sort of heavy rolling acceleration move. In fact, my wife says that I sound like a little girl ;-)

I've been letting off on doing hard launches after replacing my clutch, flywheel and pressure plate last month to the tune of almost $5K. The clutch was already pretty short on life (high engagement point), and I'd say that some hard launches made for a rather ungraceful end of life for the clutch components.
