I can assure you, the amount of money a modified exhaust costs there’s easier ways to scare people and get them to jump. Open / minimal back pressure exhausts are done for the (minor in a non boosted car) performance gains. Not to scare people.

Not sure what kind of performance you are expecting in residential pedestrian streets. I've seen plenty of customs go WOT through a 25mph zone. No other reason to do that except piss people off.

Indeed they're not trying to scare people. But they are also not trying for some ridiculous performance gain. They are trying to be obnoxious.
