the only thing I can think of is that you'v already lined the interior tub: how about spraying the underside with some heavy undercoating? I know the noise cancelling properties have been debated for years, but: it's an option to tell your wife. Other than that, I mean it's a wrangler, there is only so much dynomat that can be installed! She needs to realize it's got a large V8, and it it'sn going to be as quit as a .. (whatever type of vehicle she drives). Furthermore, wranglers are never going to be completely quiet by nature! Folks always love how quiet my soft top is- until I hit 70! haha. Then I always tell em that's why the doors are usually off!

Your whole problem is because your exhaust just has a down spout in front of the rear axle. If your exhaust had a tail pipe it would be a lot less noisy. I have a 07 426 Hemi JKU with the EVO front and rear coil overs and the whole problem is the rear won't let you run a tailpipe. Maybe try and run a pipe out the side in front of the axle. You will loose ground clearance but hopefully it will help with the exhaust noise. Keep us informed how it turns out. My '11 JKU with a Hemi and teraflex long arm kit allows for a tailpipe and is a LOT less noisy.

What are you thinking of doing to "dress up" the interior?
Not very much you can do besides keep it clean and maybe get an armrest pad or interior handle covers
unless you have some custom seat covers made
