Cavalier growl?
ok lately i've been wondering why do the old cavaliers, like the one in the pic, have a deep exhaust tone compared to normal 4 cylinder cars? is it just bigger engine or what?

One of those damn POS cars rear-ended my Civic once, those things make better rams than cars. Sorry I can't contribute much to the threat, I'm just so damn bitter about it...
