It sounded like a brass section from an orchestra. I LOVED it! The neighbors, not so much.

But in principle it isn't because the trumpets are longer, they will be louder. For every engine there is a perfect length for the intake that will give its best performance, this will also be the loudest. That is why modern porsches are so much louder still than say a passat, to get the most out of the porsche they have optimized the intake lenght, whereas in the passat they will rather have spent time adjusting the intake so it isn't noisy and has less power.
