Default Q for the Hardtop guys

How much quieter than the softtop is the hardtop on TJs? Is it like driving in a commodore or a slightly less noisy TJ?

Well, if you put it on after having the softop on for a few months (mine is a 97 so may be not as tight as newer ones) the difference is amazing. And that is with full doors.......

A lot quieter but not nearly as much fun. Anyway, who needs "quiet"? I hate talking to anyone while I'm driving and an MP3 player with a good set of earphones solves the music problem (even though it's probably illegal) ...
