It's hard to keep a rotary quiet after you change out the exhaust.

yea..... the point of the exhaust is to get a better sound. I guess I just don't get your complaint dude. I mean, with the stock setup, I was annoyed because the car was too quiet.

Eh, not really. There isn't any 'performance' to be gained by an aftermarket exhaust on an 8, so tone is really all that is left.

And even if that were true, don't Porsche and Ferrari both tune their exhaust for a specific note?

We all know that putting on an aftermarket exhaust gives little gain in hp (though your butt dyno goes through the roof ) Its just like putting on an intake, you really don't get noticeable performance out of it

Untrue. The Racing Beat Rev8 produces dyno gains. Also you need to free up the intake and lean out the fuel mix for the additional freer flowing exhaust to be of any use. Also they tune the sound to keep it from annoying people at lower rpms.
