I keep looking at that issue of C&D and I can't figure out why people are calling this thing ugly. It's chunky and aggressive, sure, but not everything has to be smooth and contoured. I just wonder if it's going to be as unrelentingly loud as the last SRT-4 on the highway. I wonder if anyone ever bought one and decided to sacrifice a little of that power by installing a muffled exhaust.
