We are not talking about a loud bike here. I am running Big Louie slash cuts with 2" Baffles. I have no problem listening to my stereo. I just wanted a free flowing system to help cool the engine. When I romp on it will bark, but it's not obnoxious. I just see this as another excuse to have CHP pull us over. I am 4th generation Californian and conservative Christian and I am sick of what the newcomer libtards have turned this State into. OK, rant over. Sorry guys.
Free flowing exhaust does not have to be loud, just look at high performance cars...
Having your bike loud is not any kind of "right"
Come to Europe, in Spain you cannot:
Change the exhaust
Change the lights
Change the handlebar
Change … you cannot change anything!!!
As a sample if you want to legally change the handlebar you must:
The handlebar must be a model certified by the ECE
The installer must be certified and must issue a document certifying the installation
An engineer must do a project of the modification
You must go to an ITV station, a place to examine the bike and authorize and certify the change.
In short, a LOT of money just to change the handlebar!!!
You can not make any modification, of any kind, to the engine, even the Stage I
And we must pass an inspection on the ITV Station every two years, if you have changed anything you cannot circulate with the bike, the fines are very high, even jail in some cases.
Socialism in action!

Sorry Two Lane....... Didn't mean to derail your thread. I've been shoveling out from this last snow we got for the last 7 hours and might be a little bit testy, lol.

Here we go another bible beater beating me up for calling out the hypocrisy.
LOUD MOTORCYCLES SUCK
This is fun poking at all of you that ruin motorcycling with your obnoxious noise
Noise that you make with your lifestyle extensions is some kind of right.
If your ride is quiet no one is going to bother you. Doh!
Christian folks have regard for their fellow man. I did not beat the christian drum here but some one else did defending their noisy lifestyle extension
Why do i have to explain having regard for others to so called Christian men?
Loud motorcycles suck and every one of you that thinks this is right is so full o crap
Judgemental???
No my words are logical conclusions after wading thru the waist deep cow dung
and please quote the hell out of me so i can enjoy the drivel
