Any time I hear a loud bike or car, I just assume the owner is really poor, and can't afford anything that isn't falling apart. It's really sad, honestly. I hope, one day, they get a good deal on something that doesn't so obviously showcase the things they're insecure about 😉
Your comment is a bit hard to follow, but in my experience, the expensive cars are much louder than the one falling apart.
A bad exhaust can be extremely loud, but while it negatively impacts comfort, noise level, and emissions it doesn't impact the drivability or safety of the vehicle. So people who struggle to cover the costs of vehicle maintenance will often neglect it.
