    That is the sound of a well maintained, smooth, and refined driving machine.

                      mine did that for a while, before it rusted completely, and fell off one day as I was going over the railroad tracks on the way to work.
                      Then it was LOUD!!

                        My exhaust fell off after the cat, so I drove around w/ an open cat for a couple weeks. Absolutely obnoxious, but it was kinda fun.

                          same car as my first video, different engine - exhaust rusted off so i terminated it after the cat with only 1/3 of the porcelain left over

                            Trip to the muffler shop up by my school + $35.00 = Problem fixed

                            My car actually sounds much nicer than it did before the main problem was diagnosed.
