What makes the dolphin tail so popular?

Just wondering? It seems that so far the only guarunteed exhausts for the S2 are the Racing Beat and the Re-Amemiya super dolphin tail. What exactly makes this exhaust so popular? It seems like it is all the rage in the jdm. I personally like having the straight outlet vs the curved outlet like the dolphin. Anyone else?

Under load I cant hear a difference between my exhaust and rev's exhaust. Then again I cant hear a difference between anyones exhaust under load.

They all just sound raspy and ricey.

some people can tell the difference. Maybe because they care. If your exhaust goes above annoying by civilian standards then it doesn't matter how nice it sounds.

Thats why i went for ultra annoying and got a header.

I have yet to hear this thing at wot, I know its effing loud as a mother.

I can't wait to get my BHR midpipe in, this HKS is killing my sleeper vibe. I wanna surprise the GTO's, Challengers, Stangs, etc. Right now they hear me from a million miles away. I know every midpipe is different but I just switched to a single resonated pipe from my SR motorsports non resonated catless pipe and I can tell you the resonator made no difference, it's loud. Even my SR pipe with the factory catback was pretty loud at WOT.
