Agreed. Ironically enough, I saw a black one yesterday on the way home that sounded fairly quiet (minus an annoyingly loud PSSSHHHY BOV), and was in really good shape, no bumpers cut up, good paint up close. It had some spraybombed black wheels but otherwise seemed okay. Guy wasn't driving like a total dick either (key word: total )

They do sound good when done right, but done right is foreign to most of their owners, even some who managed to make them fairly fast.
