Default Oregon exhaust???

I'm going to be relocating to the Portland area and wanted to get some input on my exhaust. I'm running Samson Big Guns with 10" baffles on my Wide Glide and it is fairly loud. How stricked are they on noise?

I live in the Eugene area and run drag pipes as do many others, never had a problem. I live just off a main highway to the coast and I can hear bikes coming a minute before I see them. Don't know about the "Big City", But the rest of the state is pretty lax.
Welcome to Oregon, need anything don't hesitate to ask............Doug

No problem. Unless you bark em right next to a cop's open window, you're good to go. Just use common sense. I live just outside of Portland, lot's of good riding to be had here. Welcome to the Northwest!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking forward to riding where you don't have to wear a facemask to keep your skin from burning off.
