Default Loud cars!

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 like older cars with low rumbles, but when they are too loud it's just obnoxious. That low vibrating noise is what I want cars to sound like.

I've got my car to where you can't even hear it, but I don't mind too much if other people like theirs loud. To each their own.

However in some places it could be illegal to have such a noisy exhaust. I really don't see the point in a big noisy exhaust.

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!
