We can thank all the obnoxiously loud piped adoloscent throttle jockeys for the EPA crackdown. Unless you live in a cave, noise has been a big complaint over the last few years - NOT emissions. That's what drove it all. A big thank you to all the MORONS who think it's cool to have pipes so loud that you wake your neighbors, scare children and ruin a good thing for all. Oh yeah, thanks for revving them up in neutral for absolutely no reason at all or running at 3500 rpm in 1st geat through the neighborhoods in the middle of the night. Do you realize that the only one you are entertaining is yourself, and everyone else is looking at you thinking, "Yep, I remember my first beer and loud pipes, but then I grew up" So to all of you who think it's cool, go listen to the Rush song Red Barchetta, cause that's where this is going.
Oh yeah, save all the screw you pm's and flames because they won't phase me a bit.

Harley sounds SWEET............
But, Loud Pipes will be our demise............
Loud and obonoxious are for the DRAG STRIP ONLY (Racing) ...................
IMO, there will be sound restrictions in the near future.

Im over the need for noise, its like the louder the pipe the more power some "think" they have, in reality a good tuned engine with tuned exhaust will be much quiter and make more power than the straght thru pipes anyday. But hey what ever floats your boat.
RE: Why so "LOUD" ????????
I bought my EG used and it came loud. I have found that useful in town because people want to know where it is coming from and it gets most cagers looking. I don't go around popping them just to be obnoxious though. I call it Rolling Thunder
