Not the smoothest, but definitely the fiercest.

This does not need to be a good running shark post or only modded exhaust. Does anyone have any sounds of 928's running bad. Lifter knock, misfire, exhaust leaks, running rich, etc. It would be a great tech reference for troubleshooting when something is not running right.

I think I like the sound of my race car the most (I think Sean has posted a YouTube video of that car). It has MSDS headers to a Flowmaster at the back... that is it!

EURO85 is mean but to loud. It has stock manifold to Y-pipe to a Spintech that seems to do almost nothing.

'88 S4 bone stock but with an RMB out back sounds AWESOME!!! Probably the best street sound of all mine.

'92 EURO GTS is stock with RMB but it FAR to quiet...better than stock but to quiet.

All the rest are completely stock so way, way to quiet!

Mine is stock GT-resonator quiet. Love the quiet 'stealth' mode. Excessive exhaust noise can be, well, "exhausting" on longer trips. Hearing is fragile enough as it is.

That said, I love the sound of a healthy exhaust note. A flat-crank V12 at full song is music, especially if there's a harmony of 12 intake pulses. I just don't want to be forced to listen to it mile after deafening mile.

Stock GT exhaust except for X-pipe and high-flow cats. The supercharger adds a little something too
