I guess we were ahead of our time in high school.
I had a Turbo 400 muffler on my 4-banger Chev Monza. Those muffler's gave the V8's a nice low rumble...on my car it sounded high and whiney.
The most annoying of our group...my friend's '86 VW Rabbit with a Glass Pack. It sounded like a chainsaw, and it popped and gurgled on the downshifts.
At least my car got quiet when I lifted the throttle, that Rabbit got stopped all the time for noise.
