Does your exhaust roar like a tyrant dinosaur, growl like a hungry cougar, rattle like an angry snake, purr like an affectionate kitty, or cry like a grumpy parakeet?

What do you drive and what exhaust do you have?

I have OEM exhaust on my 550i Sport. It is very subdued. Way too tame. More like a kitty. If it weren't leased, I'd go with the new RPI exhaust for the 550.

I still miss the exhaust bellow let out by my 1990 Mustang LX 5.0.

My 530's stock exhaust sounds like this:



An RPi exhuast would sound much better. However, I refuse to pay that much for a muffler.

Then you would've LOVED the exhaust on my previous Jeep SRT8 - full Gibson cat back, THAT was more of a ROAR

What do you drive and what exhaust do you have?
You post this and yet you laughed at the exhaust sound thread for 35+ year old men with a wife and kids??
