Amen, that's one of the reasons I bought it. It's all about visibility on the streets, the loud pipes save lives thing is grossly overrated

Never seen a dragster on I95 around Baltimore or DC in heavy traffic ever. Just like police sirens, even when you hear them you don't know just where they are until they are bout on top of ya. I'l stick with visibility.

Visibility is key in Baltimore, I'm on the road all day for my job and it's terrifying to see how most drivers are oblivious to their surroundings
