I get having a quiet "exhaust" so you can hear the turbo's better but......

[Have seen a few 9sec turbo GNs out there like that and it just kills me in a good way, thing pulls up to the line and all you hear is the turbo and the tires doing the burn out, not a whipser from the muffler to ruin the sound of either ]
My guess is that it is due to government regulation. Just like safety, fuel mileage, and emission standards auto manufacturers are also required to meet noise standards.
