Sounds like the car was a turbo.
To get that sound you could either turbocharge your xA with a nice blowoff valve, or get one of these ricey things: http://www.takakaira.com/accessories/nightpager/nightpager.html

Vortech supercharged cars also use BOV's and have IC's(sometimes)

That BOV sound got annoying after a while though, I used to hate having to hear it at 2am on a clear night. I had the turbo XS RFL on my old turbo Integra, then I sold that and bought an HKS SSQV, and that sounded like a bird chirp; hated it. I then bought a DSM stock BOV that hardly made any noise and loved it. :P
too bad atmospheric setups are so damn hard on non-turbo cars.

unless you want people to laugh in your face, don't buy a damn blow-off valve simulator. your car will most likely be laughed at everywhere you go by boosted and non-boosted people alike. i'd point and laugh if I saw your NA xA blowing off, and i'm sure most of the people here would too.
if you just want the sound of turbo, skip all the heartache and trouble n/a turbo setups bring and buy a naturally turbo car; an old turbo 2, 300zxtt, supra, wrx, fd3s, conquest, etc. but remember, you'd have it for all the wrong reasons.
