The only experience I don't care for is when running snow tires.

Yeah, I get that, and am glad that I'm not just imagining that sound. You hit the nail on the head when you said it reminds you of the sound of your older RWD cars; that's exactly it. I just haven't driven anything that made that sound in a long time, and I had almost forgotten about it!
T, I know you do a lot of driving, too, and that we're of the same... ahem.. vintage. After a long drive, especially w/ your catback, do you experience any sort of hearing exhaustion.. sort of audio-numbness or fuzziness? I really worry about that, I guess mostly because of my profession. I love driving with the windows down, feeling the air, but the darn windnoise is SO loud in my left ear that I can't take it very long. It's much worse than on my bike w/ a full helmet.
Just curious.. thanks for the reply.
