In my humble opinion gutted stock pipes (when I say gutted they still do have some of the three baffle plates left over from the bafflectomy, including the reducer cone) are not really that loud. They do have authority at WOT but under normal throttle riding they aren't that bad... certainly not bad enough to need earplugs.

The loudest pipes I have ever heard were the extra long epco drag pipes on Casey's bike (Clinton MD gang) and the others were the little shorty turn out pipes (basically a ten inch extension of the header pipes) that one of the members here in Northern Virginia has on his speedy.
