RE: Exhaust noise
I hedged my bets... I installed those Supertrapp tunable slip-ons.
Right now I've got them tuned as loud as they will go, which is still not as loud as straight pipes, but loud enough to satisfy me. The high end BRRRRAAAPPP isn't as loud, but they have a nice, low-end bass tone that the straight pipes don't have. It sounds like a musclecar. I can hear them over the wind at 70mph.
If the boys in blue start harassing me, I can just tune them quieter.
They've got that factory look that I like, but they're about five inches shorter than stock:

No kidding - I see those piles of crap pumping out that foul, C-RAP bullsh$t they call music. [:@] The exhaust is bad enough...sounds like a bumblebee with throat cancer.

Nothing so far in AZ. I go to cave creek alot and they have a 80 decible limit and a lot of bikes stroll through there. You just have to go slow and not hammer the throttle or you could get a ticket.

RE: Exhaust noise
does a high end sports car like ferrari ,lambo., Austin Martin pass the noise ordinance stock????? Hmmm....
I know my neighbors diesel F-250 and any tow truck puts my pipes to shame... let alone those buzzy rice burner car exhausts.....
Seems like this would be something where an insane number of vehicles should be ticketed....We have ordinances in Fla. I hear they don't enforce them really.... Kinda like the ape hangers putting ones hands above your shoulder...

I paid $75 to the City of Ocean Ridge a few months ago.
I don't care... I consider it dues. I'm with Dizzy if I hafta put my stocks back on (I saved them just in case)
I cruised by the nice officer at 35mph (speed limit on the beach - A1A)with my clutch in and idling. He was a dick.

RE: Exhaust noise
Yeh those jap cars with annoying sound.... I know it's a fad....Can't wait till that fad goes away.....
also heard that annoying sound coming out of a Ford Musang... That was real sad.
