The truck sounded great under acceleration, but those pops on decel are pathetic.

I completely agree with you! The gunshots are terrible IMO.
Too many people are cheesing out these M cars to the point where they're no longer classy and they don't even look like M cars. They miss the line between exotic and cheesy - some by a large margin. I usually just leave it alone out of politeness.
A more aggressive exhaust note is cool. But that is obnoxious. Plus I have enough trouble keeping a lower profile with this beast, never mind attracting more attention by the police with my exhaust.
The other subtle thing is that a well done car is obvious to an enthusiast, the police, and other people in general. People will treat you more favorably if they think you're more classy and upscale because of the car you drive. In general they will respect you more. Although perhaps a small psychological advantage, it helps when you get pulled over and your car is as classy as you!
(Doesn't make my decision, but it's nice to have when the officer is deciding to let me go, give me a warning, or write me up for everything he can...)
