classic, certainly original.
for a bit more induction sound, turn the air cleaner lid upside down. Sounds great when you boot it, but unfortunately doesn't make it go any better

If you really want some sound from it, extractors, high flow cat and 2-1/2 inch system will be enough. It's all I've done to my Calais and it's got a very nice note now. It was dead stock when I got it, know what you mean by dead quiet with that setup.

Next get some extractors and angle grind a piece out of the back of the air cleaner.
It will retain originality but suit your age better. Good luck with it anyway, watch the scums, get a good alarm.
