What's wrong with driving it? Get a set of earmuffs and press on, if it's too loud! Maybe rig up a short piece of pipe from the manifold toward the ground to direct the heat out of the engine compartment. I'd use a chunk of water pipe and some wire- - - -stick the pipe up inside the exhaust manifold and tie it to the intake- - - -like maybe with a metal clothes hanger.
