Air noise at high speed (buck twenty +)???

Guys: topic: air/outside noise coming through the windows. At high speeds (buck twenty and north), outside noise goes up dramatically. Is this your experience? Am I being too picky expecting the car to be "normal discussion volume" quiet at these high speeds? Are there any after market tricks we can do to our windows to make them more quiet at high speeds?

thnx

No way. Mine is silk at 140, easy.

Look for any overhangs. Obviously, sunroof first.

Also, is it possible that you were in windy conditions?

You have exhaust mods? If so, make sure the tips are past the body.

Good point regarding the wind. It has been windy as all get out here lately. No exhaust mods.

Thanks for thoughts.
