I agree with you, people who drive around in little cars with tiny four-banger engines shouldn’t have the “racing” mufflers.  It just makes them seem silly when their car whines when they accelerate.  If you’re going to have custom pipes, at least have a decent engine to provide the exhaust volume to make it sound nice.
