Bill,
One man's headache is another man's passion.

Personally, I like the roar of the Monza exhaust note.  And to a certain
extent, there is a correlation between noise and power.  Less
restrictive exhaust systems produce a measure of additional power at the
expense of "quiet".  But note, I was careful to say the magic words, "to
a certain extent" and "a measure of".  8^)
