Car too loud at startup, need rec for decent earplugs

I've developed chronic daily headaches that seem to start shortly after I startup my car in the AM.

Have tried CVS wax earplugs and Bose noise cancellation headphones to no avail.

I know Bose sucks but does anybody have any other ideas -- my neurologist is stacking paper as we speak thanks to my c63...

Yeah...

Just pick up the foam ones from a drug store. Hearos are one popular brand among riders but any will do. It seems like ~30dB rating is the best you can get without shelling out for customs.

First a ticket, then scaring your gf, now nuero problems? Either you're way too excited about your car, no reason not to be I guess, or these threads are serious!

Sinple, go to a gun store or military surplus store and get some decent earplugs from it. I think even Dick's or Walmart sell some decent ones too.

As to the OP, if it really is bothering you, you should switch to another car. Doesn't seem to be worth the trouble. The M3 should be meek enough

This is why the estate is brilliant No trunk canceling out the exhaust sound. It sounds brutal compared to the sedan.
