I know *exactly* what you're talking about. My brother had (as his first car, no less) a '68 Mustang California Special. That car had a lot of undesirable qualities, but even with just a 289 2BB flowmaster exhaust, turning out into traffic and laying the hammer always brought at least one small moment of automotive bliss.
In the Subaru world there is something very similar. Everyone knows the equal-length headers offer a performance improvement, yet so many people refuse to install them because they eliminate the "boxer rumble." Even after 3.5 years I still get goosebumps turning the key and hearing the engine bark to life and settle into its baritone rumble.
