Don't let them see you coming and don't let them see the back tires.

I installed loud pipes. If I keep my foot out of it, it's just noisy. Foot into it and she really makes a racket.
Out back - the cabin noise isn't bad at all.
I installed glass packs on my '63 Avanti R2 and got the same effect. Once the Holley opened up and the supercharger really cut in she flat roared. Under 2k RPM or so she just purred like a kitten.

Looks like you're posting Euro-trash again.
Mine has 1.875" headers into 3" collectors into a 3" system the rest of the way back. On an otherwise mild 383. With Dynaflows. Yeah . . . .
The next engine will retain the same B-block but will likely be a stroker and will certainly have some go-fast goodies, too.
I'll try to get some pix of my buddies project. He's working on a '47 GM COE and installing a old school hemi with a Weiand 6-71 in a mid-engine mount. The Unser shop boys are helping him the the engine build.

She got game and proper inflation...
Now that sounds like a creative build, with a touch of inter-manufacturer blasphemy.
Which I like.
Like hemis in deuces.
I'll get some "in progress" pix. Angelo is really creative, his only problem is he is constantly changing things around and it's a toss up as to whether he finishes the project or dies first.

My grandfather did that.
I think the delusion of living forever has something to do with it, too.
Sometimes, figuring what to plant in this year's garden is a conundrum.
Seeds, lots of seeds.

Groundhogs are not warm, cuddly animals, but that really isn't a problem for 364 days of the year when they're mostly left alone.
But every Feb. 2 the furry rodents are trotted out in communities across the country on Groundhog Day, an inexplicable holiday where groundhogs make their winter prognostications that may or may not actually come true.
Sun Prairie's groundhog Jimmy left quite an impression on Monday when he chomped on Mayor Jonathan Freund's ear. Freund flinched as Jimmy's handler quickly pulled the animal away, but the mayor calmly proclaimed the groundhog's prognostication of an early spring.
The mayor learned a valuable lesson from one of his city's most famous critters — don't get too close to a groundhog.
WISC-TV reports that the Groundhog Day celebration became even more precarious when Jimmy’s handlers, Jerry and Maria Hahn, said the mayor had gotten it wrong and that there would be six more weeks of winter.
The city later issued a statement saying only the mayor can translate Jimmy’s prediction.
