A different exhaust question
So the vast amount of loud exhaust threads, there seem to be those in favor or against.
That said for all of you who like and preach loud as if it's not a bike unless it's had exhaust mods, do you also modify your cage so it's loud?

I don't "preach" loud but I can't seem to leave anything alone when it comes to my bikes or hot rods. They all have great exhaust tones that are louder than stock.
My daily driven pickup (Dodge Ram Diesel) isn't stock either but it's a long way from "loud". The wife's car is bone stock and whisper quiet.
Note: My wife insisted that I make her bike a bit louder so it would actually 'sound like a Harley' but she also likes her nice quiet car.

Yes! When I bought my new F150, the first thing I did within two weeks was put a lift kit, larger off-road tires, and a new custom dual exhaust. My wife has said she could hear me coming from a mile away. I love hearing the sound of a V8 or a Harley...

Oh, and I don't preach loud nor do I think a bike has to have a loud exhaust to "be a bike". I am a firm believer in "to each his own". I make my bike, and my trucks, to be what "I" want them to be. I don't give a rats *** what everyone else does

My daily driver is a POS Ford Explorer. Making it louder is the last thing I want to do with it. And I think it's big enough that being visible to other drivers is not a problem. Now, I do have a 1991 911 Carrera. With the stock exhaust it has a pretty healthy sound, especially at wot, so I think I will leave it be.

I have a hybrid, so it'll never be loud.

I haven't owned a cage in years. But when I did, yeah, I changed the exhaust so it had a louder, deeper throatier tone.
