Here we go again... Edmonton Police Service just being the nice guys they are. Looks like there will be plenty of used after market pipes for sale in Edmonton after this weekend.

Modified exhaust/loud pipes laws are on the books everywhere. Here in NY I understand if the exhaust system lacks the manufacturers stamp indicating it is in compliance with federal guidelines you can be ticketed, and if you get the wrong cop your bike can be impounded! Everyone who installs a custom exhaust does it for the sound, you go into this thing knowing exactly what your trying to accomplish. I ran straight pipes for over 30 years and paid a few tickets in that time. Now at 63 my Roadking has the stock exhaust on it and I'm fine with it and don't get my b@lls broke by the cops. After 40 years in the saddle I've learned It's not about the sound.....it's about the ride. If you modify your exhaust and like it that way and you get ticketed just man up and pay the fine and quit complaining. You knew when you changed the system you where running the risk of this happening. If you didn't... well then you're to stupid to ride a bike!

Let the flaming begin!

 

LOL! Well said!

 

I didn't change my pipes for sound. I did it strictly for power. That's why I run a 3 stepped header, spiral wound 2 into 1 exhaust with the smallest size baffle available for it. If I wanted loud sound and performance I would have installed a Thunder Header. If I was stupid and wanted loud and no power I could have done what you did and installed straight pipes.

Glad it only took you 40 years figure out that riding an obnoxiously loud bike does not make you cool. Maybe if you have another 40 years left you can figure out some other glaringly obvious fact of life like sticking your hand in a campfire hurts!

 

Lol...well said PFWiz.
