Loudest Legal Pipes ?
Does anyone have some good information and comparisons on pipes that would be legal but still sound decent. It looks like the laws will change eventually and I want to do some foot work ahead of time.
I think the stock pipes on the 07's sound like crap so I want to find something a little better than that.
I have ran the stock ones, V&H straight eight SSHSwith the quiet baffle and the SE II's.
TIA

IDK if they are legal or not, but I really like the sound of rinehart pipes.

"legal" has various definitions. In most places, if it doesn't have the EPA stamp, it's not legal. Even if the bike only put out 60dB, it still wouldn't be legal.

This is a BS law, why must you have to use an original equiptment exhaust system on a bike and not a car? Does that mean I can't get a car exhaust installed at Midas if this law was equal? I would have to get it at the car dealer?
What if I were to install quiet (same dbl as stock) baffles in my pipes, i'm still going to get a ticket for non-stock exhaust?
I can understand strait pipes being illegal, but baffled pipes should not be.

I have the SE Slip-on's for my '07 FXSTC and they have the EPA/CARB stamp on the underside of the pipes.

I think in California in 2006 and everywhere else in 2007 all the stock pipes have Cats in them. So I would imagine aftermarket would have to have them too in order to be "legal" or get an epa stamp. I still think it is rediculous to put cats in theselittle two cyclinder engines. We should be encouraging people to use motorcycles instead of discouraging them. Think of the huge reduction in pollution and congestion if a majority of people were going to work on motorcycles instead of giant 8 cylinder engined SUV's!
