Do you not think it makes them to loud?
Mines totally standard and it turns heads with the sound it makes, any louder would spoil it.

Best sound - there isn't a best sound. It's subjective.

It's taken me yeare to get my car sounding how I like, but others may think it's crap.
Some like giant exhausts that just make the noise of an exhaust, some like the sound of the induction others warble and even some try and pressurise the exhaust so you get a jet fighter style roar (turbo).

The vis sounds the best to me, but put a sports cat and free flowing mandrel bent exhaust from blueflame, longlife or one of the others and they all sound great.
The only time I ever really properly heard mine 20vt was when I sold it and the buyer drove off with it. I'd never realised it sounded so good - I could have cried!

I had exactly the same reaction when I heard mine leave... that Ragazzon cat-back system was immense.

I know exactly what you guys mean I never heard mine properly until me and a friend swapped cars at brands for a test and I spent most of the time just staying behind him to listen to what mine sounds like to others love

16V N/A sounds really good in the cabin when cruising somewhere around 3K rpm. [Standard off the shelf zorst also looks rather impressive from the back.]
[Broad hint] Would like to hear a 20V N/A hitting the sweet spot.[/Broad hint]
I've a full Milltek with sports cat on mine. I'm told it can be heard some distance away on full chat. Wish my VX sounded as good.

Out of the box with no mods I think the VIS sounds the best because you hear the engine a lot more but with a nice exhaust and filter then the 20vt sounds the best
