For no other reason that an American V8 needs to sound like a V8, whether in a SRT8, SS Camaro, 5.0 GT Mustang or a pickup truck.

I personally love listening to others exhaust as long as its done well and not some punk kid that got enthusiastic with a hacksaw
It more the issue of the vehicles with modified exhaust in residential areas, not rural farmland.

For the record, his exhaust is actually stock
It's also the fact that you are not the only one on your street or country for that matter. If everyone did as they pleased from all aspects you'd have a ****storm over your head. And their are specific by-laws that govern the amount of noise a vehicle is legally allowed to produce.

If I get a ticket for being over that db level, then so be it. But just because I'm in a residential area doesn't mean I'm gonna open it right up to wake the neighbourhood. Just because an exhaust is louder, doesn't mean it's always going to be loud. You can still drive nice and not have it loud. I have cat less downpipes, and 4" catback on my truck and I can leave the community decently quiet.

Why did I put loud exhaust on my truck?
1 my stock exhaust broke off
2 I wanted it
3 it was pretty cheap
4 I picked up 3 mpg with it
Do I need to go on?

Has no one considered, the OP hasn't said anything since the initial post other than stirring the pot here and having User-One arguing with everyone about why they modify their exhausts?

1967 Mustang
1997 F350 with 460
2008 f150 lariat
1994 f150
1982 f150
1994 f250

All of my trucks were loud as hell. And so will my next.

I have just a flow master original 40 on my truck with factory pipes just replaced the muffler, wish it was louder but my dad didn't want it too loud but he wanted to be able to hear my truck when I come in late at night and he did it so I couldn't sneak out!! And my dad has a flow master super 40 si/do with turndowns turned down on each side of the spare tire. He did his just because he wanted the rumble!!! Now my dad had a 2006 6.0 crew cab lariat f-250 with with true dual pmt diesel 5 inch straight pipes coming out at a 45 on each side!! That truck was a monster and you could hear him from at least 1/4 mile when he got on it and rolled coal... Yes my dad is having his mid life crisis at 45 lol

Just as often the modified exhaust on these trucks is no louder than a typical diesel crew truck firing up and idling every morning at 5 AM, or a lawnmower or a snow blower. What if I don't want to hear that ****? The noise pollution argument holds no water unless we start talking about straight pipes.

Quick Reply: You need an exhaust because of it's sound?
