I have a porsche with a europipe 2 "Loud version" exhaust.... sounds great, and loud.
I have an M5- sounds great, gurgly V8 noise
I have a Ford 7.3L powerstroke diesel- sounds great, clatter and all
I have a Kubota diesel- sounds great.

Engines make noise...

All engines make different noises.... ALL machinery makes noise. Form follows function, and in this metric, 'sound follows function'. It is a different technology, it is a different sound.


If you don't want engine noise, buy a Tesla.

People who object to the 35d engine sound seem strange to me....

IMHO

PS One of the neat things at the Porsche museum in Stuttgart were these 'sound domes' where you could listen to various engine sounds. Outstanding.
