Default Which Sound Better?

This mostly applies to people with test pipes/exhaust...when you push in the clutch and the rpms drop or when you first start up your car. Personally I think when you first start up it sounds mean as hell but the rpm drop at stop lights and such sounds pretty good as well; what do you guys think?

The drop in mine is awesome. Rumbles ya a lil bit. I get to have that effect more often than the starting it up effect, so its better!

Stock exhaust, but I love the bark when she starts up on a cold morning.

I can see startup being bad for your car but how is letting the RPM's fall bad? Maybe no load on the bearings so its got the same potential harm to your engine as free revving?

hey bro, there are plenty of "frivolous" polls in the off topic section. I was having a conversation with a friend and we were talking about it so I thought I would get a general poll of what you guys thought. I just added my test pipes and exhaust so it is more noticeable now; so if you think its stupid, then don't vote

well the thing is, my buddy had a s2k with the same exhaust I have, the hks hi-power, and his sounded pretty rowdy when he would press the clutch in but wasnt very impressive on startup. I would have to agree with you Wired, the Z start up is quite impressive compared to many other sports cars.
