x-pipe and exit in front of rear tires?

Why do Vipers sound like crap?
Is it because you hear only 1/2 of the exhaust.
From inside it is like cranking up the stereo and putting the left/right balance to about 75% left.

I am partial to hidden turn-downs. They take away alot of the 'blatiness' that tips give but you still get the rumble....

This is not compairing apples to apples you are talking about a V12 Viper's exhaust note. I highly doubt a LA block is going to have the same note. I have never heard a LA block side exhaust either so i'm interested.
