Oh my- yesterday we were coming home from shopping and this car next to us was SO LOUD! It had a weird muffler and it sounded like a jet. It drove me crazy!
I must admit, I do like a nice sounding exhaust, but only if the engine is perfect as well. There is nothing worse than a loud exhaust that is skipping at idle, or the timing is off.
Not me... it was horrible and loud. It actually vibrated my ears! I don't care if the car is skipping or not I don't like it. I think there should be something against noise pollution.
I don't like loud cars either. Isn't there a law against loud cars? That is like driving by someone who has their bass maxed out and it vibrates the windows as you drive by them. It's crazy!
I think there is a limit. The car show I was at over the weekend had a lot of nice old cars with some power behind them. Only a few where too load, which was nice. Most had a nice rumble to them.
I think that loud cars can be acceptable till a certain extent but I know what you mean. They simply remove their silencer and it causes noise pollution. I mean, if you want to show off a nice car, there are plenty of nicer ways to do so!
I always think that a well-tuned engine is like a cat --- it purrs. LOL. Loud engines are for people who want to attract attention. I have seen my share of these supposed mufflers which do nothing towards muffling at all!
