Let me ask you a question, do you think your car is loud?
My MR2 has extra sound deadening over the firewall and a stock muffler, and it's louder in the cabin than my FR-S when it had a track pipe, despite sounding just like a stock Corolla from the outside. There is such a thing as unacceptably loud.
Even if you don't care about loud, there's also the heat issue. You cannot pipe air to the center of the engine so it gets hot, and so you'll need substantial thermal insulation. This is why a Porsche Cayman is not much lighter than a Boxster with its power soft top.
