Default Sound Deadening

I'm in the middle of a heads, cam build at the moment.

- PRC 243's milled .030
- Cam: Polutter V2 239/244 .635"/.610" LISA 112+3
- Head gasket: .040
- CR: around 11.3 depending on valve reliefs

Now to my dilemma.......I live in a town house development and did not exactly think this through lol. I'm looking for ideas/opinions on knocking down exhaust sound for early morning cold starts.

I was thinking draping a sound deadening blanket behind car may knock it down enough until I am ready to leave ?

I'm looking for any opinions, any ideas and experience with different materials. Moving is not a option this season but It's a possibility in the future.

The TSP catback looks good. Cork the cutout and it shouldn't be too terrible. Then open it up when you want to feel the noise.

Thanks much for the replies.

I have Lt's, ory, electric cutout and would prefer not to change up my exhaust/mess with my exhaust.

I was just brainstorming ideas, some kind of contraption to knock the sound down during start ups. Once I get out of my neighborhood I don't care. Just would like to knock the sound down while it's idling in my neighborhood until I leave
