I'm not an audiophile. In fact I RARELY listen to radio or CD's when driving (except on VERY long trips). How bad is the stock (non Bose) stereo? I normally listen to classical most of the time...

Stereo sound and exhaust sound and not substitutes of one another. One has nothing to do with the other. When you are enjoying the car driving spiritedly on a mountain road or highway you turn down/off the stereo and listen to the car. When you are stuck in a traffic jam who wants to listen to the engine idle? instead of relaxing to a classical o blues CD? ... or in a cogested highway sector, who enjoys the monotonous sound of the engine at constant speeds instead of enjoying your favorite driving music? thats what the stereo is for, they are not mutually exclusive. There is a time and place for each. If we were talking about a track car then it would be logical, but not for daily driver cars like these then its comical to try to substitute the exhaust for the stereo. You can make the same argument about auto-tranny option, convertible tops, PASM suspension, cruise control, etc.
And precicely for the reason that the acoustics of the car when in motion are far form ideal, its were a better sound system is able to overcome the enviromental noise much more decently than factory systems and are more needed if you like to listen to music. We can't make the car sound like our living room but we can make them sound fairly decent in most situations we encounter in our cars, for the same reason we buy >300HP cars with stiff suspensions for street driving when we can't make them go as fast as in a track, but even though we can't take them to the limit we do at the btrack we can still enjoy them in the street. Same with the car stereo. Most people don't know how good a stereo in a car can sound. But in the end it depends on how demanding the ear of the driver is wether its worthwhile or not to go factory or aftermarket or how much you like to listen to music, some people just listen to talk radio for which a stock stereo would be fine.
I got the Porsche Sport Exhaust for when I'm "driving" and will upgrade to an aftermarket stereo for whem I'm not. The best of both worlds, but I can see why others can be just as happy from a factory stereo and would better spend the money on another option.

even with the top down you could enjoy the music (of course not as much as the top down) at the expense of tremendous volume levels Quote:

Actually most people do, but don't want to mess up their fragile electronics for some Frankenstiened system that uses high gain inputs (speaker level) from the amplified headunit, since its impossible to connect to the stock head unit digitally. So unless you rip out all of the sound system (and I've yet to see one) and start from scratch (an do away with PCM), you audiofiles are hearing compromised sounds from the source. That's what I find ironic.
