I'll throw in some more anecdotal observation: I have installed Falcon SS 
exhaust systems on a TR3, a TR6 and a TR8.  I would call it two for three.  
The TR3 system is pleasant while mildly raucous (though not too loud) and the 
TR8 system has a nice subdued growl.  It is only the TR6 system (stock 
replacement) that is buzzy and boomy.  Regrettably it is made of stainless and 
thus is lasting forever.

I did have a Falcon Sports Exhaust system on a TR6 I had years back and I 
thought that had a really nice tone to it although a little bit on the loud 
side.
