Many vehicles have a resonator between the air filter housing and the intake manifold. I think maybe there was one on the car and it was damaged and discarded. The resonator is visible on this Tribune filter housing and pipe.

Ask a helper to hold a piece of cardboard or wood and partially obstruct the exhaust pipe, see if that makes any difference to the sound. Easy enough to do & might provide some clues about what’s happening.
