It's the obnoxious people that ruin it for the rest of us that want a moderate level of sound. There would not be all of noise restrictions if guys like you didn't abuse it to start with. I was camping in Laconia one year and some jerk insisted on revving his engine at 2 o'clock in the morning every night. If I had found out who it was I was going to take a crap on his seat.

Just buy drap pipes or cut the stock pipes off about a foot from the head. Looks like another case of "I don't care how well my bike runs as long as I can make more noise than anyone else". My bikes are LOUD! I run 2" Rush on the RK and it makes more noise than most want to hear when I get on it, but I can also cruise by a LEO and not even turn his head.

Yeah, two years from now when we are all required to run only stock exhaust because of the idiots, we'll all be hanging out in the garage cursing Fogg82 and all his buddies for f%^kin' up the system.

The last thing I want is loud pipes on my touring bike that I'm going to be sitting on for 8 to 10 hours a day. But hey, what ever floats your boat. Go loud or go home.

If it's too loud, you're too old.
