Brynglas Tunnels on the M4, at Newport, Junction 26..ths slip I come of at is immediately after the tunnel exit..fantastic to drop her into third and floor it.
Just waiting for the PPP on the STi8 to hear the improvement
Once followed a 360 spider through the tunnels...he dropped it a few cogs and floored it...made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, I did the same...would loved to have seen the look on the old guy's face in the Vectra towing the caravan we both blitzed 
Edited to add 360 story

Several in London:
Limehouse Link Tunnel , by Canary Wharf .
Rotherhithe and Blackwall also near Canary Wharf .
Also , there is a little side Tunnel , that runs parallel to the road under London Bridge. I have a great piece of video footage from there

Dartford tunnel!
Not flat four though.1275 Mini with straight through exhaust, cam, head, lightened and balanced (etc), big old cone filter, and straight cut gears screaming
Slow down to 3krpm in 2nd at entrance, upto 7k rpm, 3rd gear, 7k rpm, lift off, down to about 4k rpm in 3rd, stick it in 2nd let the revs fly up to 7k rpm then just jump off the accelerator..have gone in side by side next to a scoob before, female passenger pointed and put her fingers in her ears.
I miss that car...

The Medway Tunnel is a bit short, not bad none the less. (I live bout 5 mins away from it). Although the Police are always round that area, and there's 2 speed cameras within bout 400 yards of it.

Pontificating
M25 near the A10, there had been an accident at the entrance of the tunnel so everyone was crawling along , due to the slow speed we were originally doing the tunnel was quiet, but as soon as we passed the accident I planted the foot down and it sounded sweet, a builder in the middle lane didnt find the lyrics of the SS exhaust to his liking and gave me a cheery w@nker wave
I have found the bigger the bore (of tunnel) the better it sounds, small bores are no good as the sounds just bounce all over the place and back on its self, if u know what I mean.

Dartford tunnel is great as is the shorter one under the Galleria on the A1.
Little tunnels at Brands and Thriuxton are cool.
Big underground carpark at Asdas in Southgate has the most amazing accoustics and is a joy to shop there
