Different strokes for different folks. Some like their vehicles quiet, others not so much.

I've heard straight-piped 617's, but never a straight-piped 603. I like the sound of the 617, but I can't bring myself to cut up my nearly mint condition (gotta love Texas cars) exhaust system.

One time I was driving a dump truck on a project and the muffler came off. The truck had a DT466 International and sounded SWEEEET. I could have easily fixed the exhaust, but I didn't because it sounded so good.
