That must have been quite a scene! 
Your friends must live in a condo. that has a private road. Otherwise their is no way they could put up a sign limiting what type of vehicles are allowed on a public road.
I sure wouldn't want to live there, I like my freedom.[sm=biker.gif]

Another vote for Rush slip-ons. They've got a nice low rumble with the 2' baffles. I've never set off an car alarms with mine. But I've never really tried to either. What's great about the Rush pipes is they have 5 different baffle options from 1.5" to 2.5." So you can quiet them down just enough without becoming invisible. In your case the 1.75" baffles might be the way to go.
Another set of slip-ons that might help your situation are the Peacemakers. I've seen them mentioned here a few times tho I've never seen any photos posted (aside from their web site). Their video promo is over-the-top corny which probably turns off most of their target customers. But the idea seems like it would solve the conflict between increasing noise ordinances and "loud pipes saves lives." Does anyone know of any dyno postings for the Peacemakers?

Yeah Jay, it's a real upity hood (no farting, the noise and all yah know) all the pretty BMW's Caddy's and Toyota's lined up in the driveways each neighbor trying to out do the other. NOW they have installed a sign at the enterance that reads NO MOTORCYCLES ALLOWED. Now if I want to visit my friends I have to leave my bike at the pee-on parking lot 2 blocks away and walk or do the cager thing

RE: Cycle Shack Slip-on's Ticket Magnet
Wow, you causedthem to put up a sign?
No offense man, but I would be more concerened about avoiding that place than looking for quieter slips.
You start going that route and they have already won.
And back to your first post about going back to get the stockers, I would have just taken the ticket. Just my humble .02 .

RE: Cycle Shack Slip-on's Ticket Magnet
I was doing some research on recommended slip ons and came across this post. I thought it would be funny to share something a buddy of mine and I do for fun to a real up-itty establishment near my house each year.....
There are numerous signs posted all around in red that state NO MOTORCYCLES ALLOWED......
Well, niether of our bikes are that obnoxious (unless you want them to be), so each year we ride through there whenever there seems to be a the most amount of people around and blast through there just below rev-limiter scale with friendly smiles on our faces just to say "welcome to summer time".....Keep in mind I am not some idiot that goes out looking for trouble, but come on, let's get real.
If you have to live somewhere where you don't want to hear road noise, move out into Amish country next to the Yoder's house....either that or pull the panties out of your a$$ crack and lighten up. Bikes make more noise than a car for the most part....deal with it.....
