While I appreciate the sound of my engine, I dont know that I'd want it any louder in the cabin than it already is. I like being able to hear myself think,

This should be built into all new car radios, and you should be able to select your engine from a list...if you can't drive what you really want, at least you can listen to it.

I don't think it is around anymore, but there used to be a company that catered to the import crowd. They made a device you stuck under the hood of NA cars that generated the sound of a loud wastegate so you could fool people in to thinking you had a turbo. I think the device was called the nightpager. |

Heresy. Nothing sounds nicer than a sweet high compression mouse motor into tubing headers. Infidel.

V8s rule! I have an old 454 that sounds like a B17 when it is droning along. Paradise.
And sitting in line up for a stock car race listening to 18-20 idling V8s is excitement squared.
