It’s easy to judge a car by the specs alone, but Jalopnik readers know how a dull exhaust can dampen the whole experience.
Welcome back to Answers of the Day - our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
Sound is quite important for the car experience. Give something a fantastic engine note and you’ll be ready to forgive any other flaws. Just look at Alfa Romeo. Inversely, take away the sound completely and you see just how important car noise can be. The Tesla Model S wouldn’t feel half as fast if its acceleration wasn’t accompanied by nothing more than a faint warp drive whirr.
Many carmakers understand that sound is a huge part of the driving experience, and is a big reason why people fall in love with cars. Ferrari is probably the master of this game.
With only ten entries on this list, we had to cut out a number of honorable mentions. What disappointing exhaust notes did we leave off? More importantly, what custom exhausts fix the stock sounds featured here? We’re sure you can find some Akrapovic awesomeness, so post it in Kinja below.

10.) The New Camaro
The once-fastest car in the world with an eight liter W16 and roundabout a thousand horsepower should have sounded like all the volcanoes on the world were erupting at once. Instead, quad-turbochargers made it sound like some kind of plumbing and get drowned out by the lowest-rung Ferraris.
