Have you considered miking the exhaust tip and amplifying it into the
passenger compartment?  I have...

as far as the actuall issue - little bits of felt between the plastic
parts and each/metal; and I got some roof repair stuff at Home Quarters
which was 6" by 30' for about $30, it was a sandwich of thin aluminum,
with 1/8" gooey stuff in the middle, and an adhesive side.  Did the
whole inside of my (now departed) doors with it, and it did quiet the
car down quite a bit.  I also stuffed the compartments under the rear
windows with fiberglass.  Don't know why...
