I think its because car engines sound so quiet, flat and boring these days due to economy, emissions and sound regulations, even on sportscars.
Back when you could have a high revving, naturally aspirated engine sending its exhaust through a nearly straight piped exhaust, car engines, even economy ones, often sounded great. A nice, linear, rising crescendo of mechanical fury, winding itself out in song. Just listen to sportscars and racecars of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s - even the 4 cylinder ones could sound fantastic, better than most 6 or 8 cylinder cars today. To make up for the quieter, heavily muffled, emissions choked exhaust sounds of today, people decided burbles, farts, and pops and bangs made up for it, hence these trends. It’s a result of trying to make the engine sound interesting and ‘sporty’ given they can no longer have a simple, loud, sonorous high revving exhaust note anymore. That’s my theory. |

My theory is that people are dumb AF.
Crappy sounding flowmasters, fart cans, and obnoxious glass packs that were purposely blown out goes WAYYY back. The modern trend of burble pop is just a different take on giving the rest of the world an obvious signal that you are a semi-functional moron. |

Oh! We had one of those! Tiller steering and four V-belts as a clutch.
Model A transmission. Ours had a lightweight pulley on the front of the engine. Had to wind a pull rope around it to make it go. It did tend to burble a bit though.

It's cool n all but the exhaust would look better with burnt blue tips.
