What RPM is the sweet spot ???

I have long tubes, no cats and npp .. when I'm cruising I like to slowly make my way to 3000-3200 rpm sounds soooo sweet!!! Something about that rpm that makes our V8 sound barbaric!!

Am I the only person who thinks this? Maybe a different exhaust setup has a different note that you love ?

Let's hear it !

Long tubes, ultra high flow cats and NPP exhaust at any rpm in a tunnel.

I still just love driving it......regardless of the sound. For me the sound is just the byproduct of the performance.
Yeah, when I was a kid and couldn't afford headers, a cam, etc....a set of Thrush mufflers made you feel good. They had a sound like no other. Ahhh, the good old days.

I'll concur with cammer and chris,,7000 and above is just music to the soul !! Now that I can pull it out there. lol. But really just cruising around town 2500-2800 you can hear the lope of the cam, and it does sound cool.. Especially with the cutouts open !!
