See how beautifully the Alfa Romeo 4c exhaust sound is for a turbocharged inline 4 petrol engine and also how good a Inox exhaust on a Subaru Legacy Boxer diesel can sound...
These are two different things. Exhaust sound and Induction sound. You can make a turbocharged engine sound loud thanks to exhaust, but what I as a driver want to here is the induction sound, the real engine sound. That is what plays the biggest role in sound feeling for the driver. A too loud exhaust that overshadows the induction sound is bad IMO.
