Noisy mufflers. What is the purpose?

I find those a bit on the salty side, as I do most kosher meats

Nice. I've owned a 1970 R5, a 76 rd400, 2 77 rd400s and a 79 rd400 special. I still own the 77s. My favorite has chrome Factory chambers, TZ250 fiberglass fairing, handmade fiberglass tank, clip ons, billet rearsets, and more. It hasn't been started in 15 years, just stored in my dad's barn. It is still the most uncomfortable bike I have ever ridden.

Hello all,

In my part of town, there are many 20-year-olds with 4 bangers and noisy mufflers who punch it at every light.
Thoughts?
In my opinion they sound like crap!
Crapping out, spitting and shit.

'70 Pontiac Formula 455 I had for years.
Blood Red w/Black Interior & Black just below the door line and gas tank up to the rear bumper
455 Black Emblems on the side front of the Hood Scoops and front side panels

Had in it
-Stinger Distributor made for Dragsters
-Speed Pro Titanium Rods And Rings
-Roller Rockers
-MSD Electronic Ignition
-Braded Cables & Such
-Holly 4 Barrel 750 DBL Pumper
- '69 Casting #64 GTO Heads (highest compression heads made by Pontiac - 14-1 Ratio)
-Doug Thorly Headers (w/3 in. pipes)
-Flowmasters Exhaust
-4 Core Radiator
-General Kenetics Cam
-4 Bolt Mains Engine Block
-Turbo 400 Transmission (Bullet Proof Modified)
-Kill Switch in the trunk
-K&M Filters
& more I can't remember

Built it for street and strip and had that big block low powerful thunderous sound.
When you hit 2nd gear the tires wouldn't chirp they would scream loud.

When I hear those 4 bangers that sputter the kids have today I just gotta laugh.
Although the one's that don't crap out and spit I do like.
Just my opinion.

Sounds awesome! I do admire some of the newer stuff as long as they don't crap out and spit.
Just doesn't sound fast, sounds like noise in my opinion.

I like sleepers. Not ugly crap boxes with a few parts...I guess I can't really say that I do have a old flat black PU with some nut.....a clean nice driving vehicle but can flex some muscle when needed is what I prefer.
