Loud Exhausts

[redvettx2]

I have always liked loud exhausts. Skylark had the Hush Trush that I could slide back for open exhaust racing. Dad was onto me so I had to build speed and shut her down 1/2 mile from home and coast her home into the garage in stealth mode. Fast forward and I order a 1995 SLP Firehawk. Glorious sound the feds out lawed the next year. You didn't need a horn. Throttle blip. Various Harley and Ducati running race exhausts that set off every car alarm on the street. Then I moved up scale to Maserati Coupe GT (Stick car) I have had for 15 years. Larini Boxes, X pipe and Silenced D-Cat-Hard to find any Euro car that sounds this good. Ferrari guys- "Dude we just turned off our radios to listen to your car which was a 1/2 mile ahead. The pops and sound are spectacular." Then a neighbor get a new McLaren GT. Loud but not very pleasant in my opinion. I think the wife's F-Type sounds way better but not as loud. So at the last party the neighbors said it looks like I no longer have the loudest car in the neighborhood. Then I got "Cobra Fever". 427 Fuelie with side pipes! Game over, LOL.

Drove about 80 miles in the car today. **** ton of traffic in town with the Superbowl and Waste Management Golf going on. I have never gotten more thumbs up, people out the window shooting video, etc. then this afternoon. Old lady at the gas station tried flirting but the pipes just drowned her ass out. The current owner rode with me as he has not been able to drive the car for 4 years for health reasons. Feet issues. "Today I put 10% of the miles on this car and it took you 20 years to do the other 90%." He has visitation rights. Arm out the window, the smell, the sound and then there is the throttle blip. How can you not just love these cars. What the hell took me so long! Also the community seems very tight and lots of people willing to help and offer advise.
