Settal down there Foxie... I'm not condoning any kind of negitive attitude,Thats how i feel, why should i care what my or your neighbors think... o hell with anyone who doesnt like my bike or the way it sounds, i'm runnin stock and probly always will, but i'm not gonna base my decisions on what someone who i dont even know thinks or doesnt think. i agree with you 100% about people having a right to have peace and quiet in there homes... But i also have a right to put whatever aftermarket parts on my bike i want... Today its loud pipes, tomarrow its the color of your hemet... people need to mind their own business... And stop trying to make other people fall in line with what they think is acceptable behavior... And no i dont call and complain when a loude stereo on wheels cruises by my house, it is somethig i have grown acoustomed to hearing and really dont notice...Besides it takes a little more than some bump to wake me up.... And yes I will do what i want cause i'm only gonna live another 50 years or so.. So i might as well enjoy myself... CONFORMITY IS FOR THE WEAK.... So by all means my brotha you goahead and fall in line and make sure your hair is cut and shirt is tucked in... because today they take the small things away from ya next thing you know u got nothin left... but what they give ya... I hope we can still be friends

If you look at the AMA links about laws in each state, they will show what is acceptable. The one for example in Ohio says what is an acceptable noise limit for the bike traveling at a given rate of speed. In that ijstance, it is perfectly acceptable to replace an exhaust system provided it meets the criteria.

Exhaust System
No motor vehicle, including motorcycles, shall be equipped with an exhaust system which would produce any excessive or unusual noise. All motorcycles must be equipped with mufflers having baffle plates as required by law.
Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a standard muffler for that type of vehicle or one that meets all the requirements above.

i ccant believe nobody mentioned this.....im more worried about the performance loss here....i love the quietness and the look of the stock pipe/with all they gay **** taken off......but it severly hinders the performance as compared to a full yoshi exhaust for example.....i think the law should jsut require that all makes of exhaust should be made with a removable silencer....in case you go to the track.....you can take it out otherwise pull all the asses with out a silencer over but dont do away with the aftermarket exhaust....and how pissed would some exhaust only companies be about this law!!??

You worried about getting rear ended going down the road? The only way a loud pipe is gonna be heard AND save your *** is if it pointed forward.
I'll happily take a ticket and pay it because I want drivers to HEAR me and not hit me.

The question is balance, is the 2 or 3 measly horspower these little engines may gain from a loud slip on or 6 or 7 hp from a full system really gonna matter? No. Would the 25 hp I would gain in my vette really matter? maybe, but it ain't would destrying the world as we know it.
