I really don't get this.

I see loud exhausts as just being massively antisocial and rather chav.

That's because you are very boring.

My neighbour has a Ducati 996 with a race engine, at idle it makes my house shake, amazing noise. I've not heard it at full chat but I expect you can feel it through the road a few kms away.

Thank God I don't live anywhere near him. What is it about that subset of bikers who take pleasure in annoying as many people as possible by fitting stupidly loud exhausts?

Ah! So that's normal, then? The one I saw/heard a while back sounded like a Dalek having a w@nk in a dustbin.

Love that analogy.

That old video of an E60 M5 with an Eisenmann exhaust pulling away onto a main road in America always raises a smile. What a noise!

The looks, the noise, that brilliant engine. We'll probably never see an M5 that good again.

Like to think I'll dabble with one, or an M6, at some point. Brave pills required though.

Who said he'd fitted a stupidly loud exhaust? As far as I know it could be a standard exhaust, he just fitted a loud engine

I'm sure I remember reading that the E60 M5 sounded like an old diesel tractor at idle?

[aberdeenelvis]

My m5 is totally standard and sounds nothing like a old diesel tractor on start up

At idle the V10 sounds like a bag of spanners, due to the high lift cams required to make the high specific power output!

Genuinely that comment did make me chuckle, the mental image just topped it off

People who fit their cars / bikes with loud exhausts are inconsiderate wkers. (IMO)

I agree, there's a difference between a little extra flow or just replacing for a more durable ss system and fitting a straight pipe with no performance benefit just to get attention.
This type of look at me throbbery is reserved for the type of people who use the word brah.
