true, but old car's engine sound also was distorted by engine bay etcIf your exhaust gets too loud it'll decrease the ability to hear the engine, but I think your overestimating what you hear, which is why I say its not a valid reason. It is true, at low RPMs mine is quiet (but it was before too).
You're NOT hearing the "engine" with the sound tube, your hearing an approximation of some intake noise as filtered and changed through the plastic and foam tube post air filter, pre-throttle body. While it's not "fake" noise like an EB per se, it isn't exactly "real" either.
If you're listening to the engine sing via the RPM changes (which is what I want to hear), you're not gaining (or losing) any of that.
all in all, it is all matter of personal prefs. I wouldn't think of it too much if I didn't previously have a car with no sound feedback at all, and putting catback in only partially fixed the issue
