I agree, that some engines are just nice to hear. If people just had some common sense it wouldn't be a problem but many people don't.

I am torn on the issue, I have a guy with an uncorked 400 motocrosser 4 stroke that rips by on the trail by my house about once a week, its retarded loud. Somedays I count gears and an impressed he's spinning up the tire in 5th. But if that guy went by several times a day, most days, I would have to ask him to put the stock muffler back on or I'm calling the cops until he gets caught.
Anyways my point is, loud well tuned engines are good to hear in small doses. All the time is too much and I guess we need laws to enforce common sense...
