Staying on topic - I gave her a thorough washing and minor detailing the other day, and added some acoustic sound deadening material to the trunk to help cut down on the in-cabin volume of my exhaust; surprisingly, it does a fairly good job of cutting out much of the frequencies that account for drone, so I'm happy with that purchase.
See that rubber cover at the lower front corner of the rear wheel arch. You can see daylight past it from inside the car. I sealed around it with silicone rubber to cut tire noise (which it did) but the main, (and unexpected) effect was to reduce exhaust noise, even though it's a long way from the exhaust. Leave a small hole at the lowest point for water drainage.
