I personally think loud is good, as long as it isnt raspy. A nice, deep rumble when you start up your car should make you smile. The car should sound strong and sexy while driving normally, and when you crack on it, let that V8 roar to life and let any one within a 3 block radius of you know you're coming! Not to mention, loud exhaust saves blind people's lives!

I run two cutouts off my y-pipe for daily driving. Full exhaust with a mild cam. The lope sounds amazing...

BUT, like others have said, it's all about personal preference.
