Hey there—didn't see your message till now—Yeah my '77 is about medium noise level. It's not really roaring, but it has a nice rich flowing acceleration sound. It's fun to compare with my neighbor's old chevy V8 truck with straight pipes.
The first thing I did when I researched r107's was go to a pricey antique car dealer. They had a '79 450SL for $26k sticker. This thing had 60k miles on it and was totally refined...it definitely was quiet for a V8 and behaved like a modern car in every way.
