People make this mistake all of the time. They confuse a cool car with a good exhaust sound. I'd bet $100 if I took a sound clip of a cool carb'd old inline 4 and played it over the top of a F&F Honda Civic, everyone would complain about how horrible the exhaust sounds.There are a lot of great sounding 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders out there. They all have carburetors on them and no turbos.
People think old cars sound good because they like old cars. Sorry, I4s and V6s have always sounded like garbage and the only thing to do is to keep them quiet.
The other thing I see is "I had an [XXX] with an exhaust and it sounded great!" Yes, and every parent believes their child is a beautiful perfect heavenly specimen. Sorry, your kid is an annoying shit and so is the loud exhaust on your V6 Mustang. It was never good, but you couldn't see that because it was yours and you were blind to how awful it was for everyone else.
