They did put Detroits in tractors...If you like the sound a tractor makes, sure.
I'm of the opinion that a high hp/low cube motor sounds infinitely more interesting than a low hp/big cube motor.
I'd much rather listen to an f1 car than the burble of a 150hp 454.
Lots of other factors come in to play with exhaust note though...
Headers sound better than manifolds. Higher compression sounds better than lower compression. A flat plane crank sounds way wilder than a cross plane crank could ever dream of. True duals vs x-pipe vs h-pipe. Length of exhaust. How many bends the exhaust has.. a boggling amount of factors really.
No low end, hit a tough spot and if you don't start grabbing gears they do a very loud and leaky face plant.
