it's basically the same post without the momma part of the story! except this time the pipes have no baffles to start with according to this OP! this ****er is running open headers and worried about his neighbors.... any baffle you shove in there is going to make a huge difference!


side note to those talking about decibel levels.... +3 decibels is twice as loud. so a decrease of 2-5 decibels as described earlier in the thread is a considerable decrease in sound volume.

Zombie thread...
OP- did you ever get this figured out? Why not just idle past the neighbors house? I keep my pipes as quiet as I can when leaving my hood. Especially when I leave for work at 4 or 5 in the morning. Never had a complaint in 11 years.

He called your mom on you? Wow, sounds like a real bad ****. LMAO. Here's what you need to do.
1- Ride your bike up to his house, make sure to blip the throttle and rev it up real good.
2- Sit in front of his house and rev it up really loud until he comes out.
3- Tell him next time he calls your mom, you're going to bang his mom while she's bent over the back of your Harley.
4- Establish dominance by pissing on his driveway while maintaining dramatic and extended eye contact.
5- Ride away victoriously, your hair waving in the breeze, sun shining down on your manly face.
