I really like the stock chainsaw cutting a barrel of marbles exhaust note, but it's not for everyone. (It also sounds a lot better with Euro headers.)

A lot of the aftermarket exhausts add some really weird notes.

The best sounding S54 I ever heard was, perhaps unsurprisingly, Chuck Stickley's absolutely balls out C-Modified engine. It sounded like it was tearing a hole in the space-time continuum coming and going.

(One friend who happened to come by the track to say hi said she thought it sounded really evil.)
