Even as a teenager, I understood the concept of exhaust tone. A muffled roar could express authority and increase performance, while a raspy, brassy, exhaust tone was just painful.
Exhaust system design is a tradeoff between size, sound, and performance. A larger volume in a muffler will give the same performance as no muffler.
i will never understand reddit... x person likes something I don't like, so x person had to of peaked in high school, or any other hurdur insult you can come up with. Then i remember reddit doesn't represent most people, just a very loud vocal minority of insufferable people who believe everyone they dont agree with on everything is less than.
I mean, subjecting others to obtrusive pops and bangs just because you like it is a pretty immature thing to do. So what age should we peg this behavior at? Maybe middle school would be a better bench mark? 😅
Usually people actually try to defend their bad behaviors. I do have to admire your sheer commitment to coming across like a belligerent middle schooler (hey look, I pegged the age just right!)
It is a part of maturing to understand that just because you like something, it doesn’t mean you should bother everyone else with it. Having a car that’s as loud as a concert speaker is just being an ass to everyone around you. I don’t need woken up in the middle of the night or to have my ears ringing because you like loud cars.
People generally don’t enjoy getting woken up, not being able to hear each other talk, or getting their hearing blown out at random. You’re gonna piss a lot of people off by doing that.
I’ve done derbies. I like loud cars too. But not in residential areas and especially not at night or early in the morning.
No, people in general. I’ve lived in apartment complexes where people got fined thousands of dollars because of their vehicles being too loud and them getting dozens of complaints filed against them. One guy who had a toddler who had trouble sleeping just straight up punched one of them in the face over it.
Being sleep deprived does tend to make people miserable.
If you choose to go somewhere meant to be loud, then yeah. It’s cool. People generally don’t sign up for that in their own homes.
Yes, THANK YOU. That was such a strange justification when it hinges on the fact that 1) people are actively seeking loudness out and 2) THEY CAN ALWAYS JUST LEAVE. 😭🤦♀️
Gotta remeber that Reddit is 1/1000 in the world. So naturally reddit is full of user who complain and moan and it's an acho chamber. "loud cars bad, peak in high school...." If you dont belive me, go check out the LA subreddit.

I thought loud exhausts were cool when I was 16 too. Then I grew up.
Problem is that these dudes peaked in high school and never matured past that level.
