The exhaust note is one of those acquired tastes, to be sure. I have a /6 Volare Duster I used to tool around my property with. Muffler delete option. My sister said it sounded like an "angry warthog."

On the other hand, the intake sound can be quite nice, and it was much louder on my 4bbl setup than the exhaust. that part sounded V8'ish. It was loud enough to attract attention and the occasional would-be-racer.
