I would definetely put a cage in my car!
However, I would NEVER EVER EVER remove the sound deadening.I actually added some thicker deadening when I redid my carpet. Too FREEKIN loud without it, and makes the car feel flimsy and cheap, like a KIA
I love a car that is rumbles when you're standing outside next to her, while being clean, comfortable, reasonably quiet and air conditioned on the inside. Some aftermarket car audio to overcome the lack of cats doesn't hurt either!
