That's a matter of opinion.
Story: Back in 1975 my brother and I chipped in to buy an old Plymouth Fury Police car. Just for parts. 383, TF727, Dana rear end.
It had these big-ass mufflers, still in good shape, so we saved those.
My brother had a '72 Plymouth GTX 440. Blueprinted motor, 12.5:1, big solid lifter cam, hi-rise with a double pumper Holly, headers, the whole sha-bang. B&M TF 727 w/3500 stall, 4.10 screw, H60X15 tires.
So we welded the big-ass mufflers to flanges to fit the headers and added downpipes. With the thought of dropping them when we got to the strip we headed north on I94 to Great Lakes Dragaway.
He's tripping along at the then 70 limit and the motor is going like 3200 RPMs. He passes a trooper as soon as we cross the border into Wisconsin.
"What's the problem officer?" "Your car is too loud." "No, it isn't" "Start it up." "It's running." "Well, then, rev it up" Shoosh, Shoosh. All you could hear were the tappets. "Okay then, just don't let me see you again."
Sometimes it's good to be quiet.
