[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8810675, member: 654802"] Most sedans are very quiet and smooth on the road. But if tinnitus silence is what you are after, it is best to start with a luxury vehicle. Those will usually only need the trunk area treated to make them super silent. One thing I would stay away from is any turbocharged/supercharged engine. They are difficult to work on if any mechanical repair (starter, compressor, alternator, belt tensioner) is to be done on them, so you will be charged accordingly. Also steer clear of any Direct Fuel Injection engines. At about 60k miles, their intake valves have to be cleaned. Sometimes they have to be walnut shell blasted, which will run you $1500-$2000. Like you stated, any vehicle can be heavily treated, but it would have to be gutted for best results. Better to start with one that is ~80% done. [/QUOTE]
