The exhaust note is quite benign at anything under 3000rpm. Could be a Prius.... well maybe still no

By 5,000 rpm the headers have well and truly opened up and by 7000 it really doesn't matter if the windows are up or down. The sound is similar to a F1 note.

The ECU's limit the rpm's to 7500 but you do get the occasional crackle backing off from there.
