Okay, I will get rid of my TOR, wait to see which pipes are voted the loudest, get some hearing protection and set about saving lives - just like the Harley boys do. I feel enlightened. Maybe I can be like the ahole that rides by on his Harley on the way to work every morning and wakes up the neighborhood at 6:30 sharp!
The foregoing was brought to you BTW, by someone who has had the loudest available pipes on his last three bikes (the one before those was actually rideable sans hearing protection - I ran some nice mellow SuperTraps on that one).
I'm surprised that extremely loud exhausts aren't mandated by DOT - you should enlighten them also.
Oh, BTW, the left turner that just took you out could not hear your exhaust blasting out the rear of your machine as he hurtled towards you with his radio blasting (not that he could with his radio off), and talking on his cell phone.
Finally, I know it is urban myth, but I hear that the loudness of a guy's exhaust is inversely proportional to the size of his.....

Mine is a monster BTW.
