Default Car sounds better when low on gas

For some reason whenever my car is between 1/4 left and E it sounds alot throatier and imo better, just wondering if anyone else felt the same way. sometimes i just drive past the gas station when i should be filling up so i can get that extra sound out of my pipes haha

ya it does sound better and louder. My throttle responce is better and the car goes a lil bit faster too. I fill up $50 91 octance every sunday and i dont start flooring it alot till i only have 1/4 of a tank which is 50 miles. By the way i have staright pipes i you wanna hear them go to www.youtube.com/hrair1010also my engine was cold so it was backfiring a little.
