Are you on stock suspension? You will hear rocks and debris hitting the bottom but if you're on stock suspension you wont hear as much body flex.

JEEEEEESUSSSS

I just took my back seats out like... 2 weeks ago. It was so annoying loud (I have a Tanabe Concept G exhaust). I actually bought dynamat and stinger sound deadener materials and covered the whole backside and only the backside (just to see if it really did make a big enough difference).

But hey, i think taking the back seats out is worth it. I felt a faster response on the gas pedal and it felt weird but... when i press on the breaks, it feels like it can stop anytime without any problems (overexaggerating)

It's noisier for sure, especially if you have an aftermarket exhaust. But in my case I got used to it after a while. Then again, I'm considering going the dynamat route at some point.

I'm on stock exhaust but being slammed on coilovers set really stiff makes my chassis creak all day.

took my rear seat out and verrrry anoyed with the noise... I have a full exhaust system , and supercharger whining up front ...2 hours later I made a false floor using a MDF .75" thick and wrapped it with a faux leather ....so pleased with the result.

Hey that sounds cool and I imagine has an aesthetic appeal as well.

thx man .

my plan was going to make a custom box for my 10" subwoofer on the spare wheel well, but Im holding that plan a little longer since i like the look a wee bit better now.

Your A/C compressor conked out at 325,000+ miles. Another member just had to replace the A/C compressor at 37,000 miles. Have you had a lot of other problems with the car?

Yes everything, otherwise rattle :(

Also my old Yaris had back seats removed, and I could hear the gas swishing in tank around tight corners ;)

Sound proofing the car is going to just weigh it back down and reverse any weight loss achieved by removing the seats
