"Quieter" really does help a lot toward a more pleasant and smoother- 
feeling ride. While I had my interior out to replace the carpeting, I  
went ahead and lined the bucket (including the rear firewall) with  
Dynamat-style sound treatment stuff. Very easy job if the seats and  
carpet are out.  It made a pretty dramatic difference, at the cost of  
maybe $100 and 25 or 30 pounds.  Recommended.
