I consider the noise cancelling headset to be a lightest solution to the noise elimination desires. Effective sound insulation is heavy and expensive. Save the $250 of sound insulation and get a good $300 noise cancelling headset. >Oil/Air separator< My air/oil separator has a container to hold the oil that ends up being separated from the air. I drain the oil during the annual condition inspection or sooner if necessary. The breather tube opening from the air/oil separator is just above the exhaust pipe. Any oil that bypasses the air/oil separator (maybe 1 drop per trip) that ends up in the breather tube will drip onto the exhaust pipe and vaporize. Result -- no oil on bottom.
