With the valves, you can keep the neighbors happy and still enjoy this under every overpass, tunnel, off-ramp, etc.

Listen to this and tell me you think the sound is annoying.

I guess it doesn't sound as bad from inside the car, but it still reminds me of a fart box, sorry. I'm with beater986, the stock exhaust has a very nice note. (note his key words: on something non-exotic) I guess I would like it a little louder, but I don't want to change the note. Like you said, it's subjective.

But hey, nice recovery at 0:55! I probably would have done a 360 or worse!
