I have VERY high standards for a loud car
* It has to sound good. A honda with the stock diamter pipe and cheap thrush muffler will NEVER sound good.
* It can't be too loud. Open headers on the street? You're just a obnoxious ass imo.
* Induction > exhaust. A giant turbo spooling, an open filter or air horns on carbs sucking in 950cfm of air will always sound better then 4 inch cherrybombs anyday.
* Tone Vs. Noise. Just because you put glasspacks on your smog'd down 78' trans-am does not mean you have the best sounding car in the world. It'll honestly sound like stuff because the noise just overwhelms everything and you're left with no real "depth" to the sound.
My alfa has no mufflers just a small round resonator at the downpipe and a bigger box resonator in the middle, but it's not that loud. At idle it sounds a bit like a muffled 305 small block with a mild cam. Cruising speeds it's about 120db of sound but that's more because I have no sound deadening anywhere on the car. Going through a school-zone is fun because the carbs run rich and it'll start popping and backfiring and scaring little children.

THESE TOO ESPECIALLY
I swear to god my town has so many stuff cars with fart-cans and trucks with obnoxiously loud glasspacks and open headers, oh my god they sound so horrible
Zloff:
s85 engine with eisenmann race exhaust. i never thought I'd fall in love with such ear rape
those new gt350's sound amazing with a more free-following exhaust as well
i can't agree that forced induction sounds nicer than naturally aspirated engines though, at least in the case of a car with more than 4 cylinders. while i do like a good bov, turbo spool gets old quick for me. superchargers sound sick so long as they're like no more than half as loud as the actual exhaust
speaking of fart can Hondas: last weekend i went to grand rapids for artprize with a friend and there was this faded-blue early 90s civic hatch following a black frs. it had hood pins, ugly black rims, lowered suspension (on likely just new springs), the whole deal. he revved his engine as he passed us and i threw up on the spot
also saw two slammed, red s2000's and a stock gunmetal s2k that day
HellHound:
I hate the sound of turbos. I think they make the engine sound like a vacuum cleaner. Big v8 engines all the way!
