You do realize there are plenty of exhaust systems that aren’t absurdly loud, right? There is a whole middle ground between silent and too loud.

I don't. To me the exhaust and noise are terrible but unavoidable issues of a combustion engine. A fetish with it and attempts to hear more of it are alien concepts to me. I would only modify my car to reduce the issue and I don't know what you need to do to enjoy your "pleasure".

If it's not loud (assuming I can trust you understand what not loud means) how can you hear from inside the car? And if you can hear from inside, people outside can hear it MORE. So it's an impossible concept to me. Like enjoying hurting others but that they don't feel pain.

Or do you mean that anything below killing people and damaging structures is not absurdly loud and therefore acceptable?
