That makes no sense. The noise you're hearing inside the car is induction noise. It certainly sounds better than hearing a fart can belting out 120db of aural nuisance.
+1 on this. I actually really like the idea of the sound generator (this analog/mechanical type, NOT the new-age speaker-driven type).
It's real sound and I am basically having the cake and eating it too - I can enjoy my motor's induction sound, without being a noise nuisance and getting unwanted attention. When I was younger and I had my little Astra with the odd 140hp , I put the loudest intake I could and it was LOUD. Sounded awesome and was great for letting my friends and neighbours know I was about to pull up from a block away.
In saying that, i can definitely appreciate wanting a bit more head-turning-ness sometimes (I won't lie this includes me) but as I've grown older, I've realised the most important person to impress with the cars handling, acceleration, sound etc... is.. surprise.. me. So if I mod/part makes adds to that, but does F**K all for random strangers outside, I'm fine with that
Also with the roof down the sound is literally audible to everyone around you. Drove through a tunnel and giggled like a child.

My standard exhaust pops and sounds fine.
OT: I only recently discovered that our stock exhausts can make some really nice pops in 1st/2nd. I'm like a kid with a new toy in carparks now. Drives my wife nuts while I'm sitting in 1st at 3500rpm
