Default Interior Drone Dampeners?

Are there any interior drone dampeners for c5 convertibles? Right now I have the BB and I love the way it sounds, but if I go LTs I fear it'll be too loud, so I want to know if there are any options.

And to the smartasses, haha mufflers.

I have a vert with Bullets and a partition helped immensely with the interior drone. Its still loud, but not annoying during conversations.

Like it sounds, its just a partition that seperates you from the trunk.

Apparently not all are created equal. If that doesn't do the job, probably going to need a new exhaust or checkout one of the car audio forums and ask about sound dampening material that you can install under the carpet. I'm no pro on it, but the good stuff should be a composite (absorber and dampener). Could be expensive to have installed and adds weight depending on the type you get (one reason luxury cars tend to weigh so much). Those ICE guys should know more on the details.

Edit: Here you go, had this link from earlier http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/conclusion/

I got mine here: http://www.southerncarparts.com/
Good price, free shipping, and most importantly quality product. Others I have seen from the usual net suspects are just as nice.....
