Though that's yet another thing that puzzles me about the loud pipes/nice engine sound school. So they get what they think is a "nice" (which usually means louder than stock) sound out of the exhaust, then crank up the stereo until until they drown it out. Seems as sensible as turning up the A/C while leaving the windows rolled down.
When I have the stereo on in the Firebird I actually turn it off whenever I have to accelerate, so I can hear the other music.
