Just a suggestion... the storage compartments in the coupe, if empty act like a speaker enclosure and transmit and amplify the sound from the exhaust system. I keep a car cover in the main compartment and fill the other small ones with other things like air pump, unused cargo net, terry cloth seat covers etc. I found that this significantly lowered the noise transfer of the exhaust system. The next thing I did was install a good quality cargo floor mat. The end result was a very significant reduction in sound.
I suggest you try this before taking the interior apart to add sound deadening material. By the way I got the ideas from other forum members. Some suggested sound baffling material for the storage compartments, which I was considering but due to circumstance found myself filling the compartments with other things and couldn't help but notice the reduction in the level of the exhaust sound. I know many love that sound, but not so much for me.
