Default RE: New pipes hurting my ears!

I guess the cagers are getting sick of hearing our exhaust instead of the person on the other end of their phone call.... Which one is the bigger distraction here???

To Tegne.... I am not Eggroll but I have modified my stock pipes as well. AllI did was take a roto-zip with a metal bit and ground the welds on the outlet side ofthe muffler and took a long pipe (jack handle) and a BFH, gave it a whack or two on the baffle in the inlet side and the baffles dropped right out.
I then took a dremel tool and smoothed outthe marks left from the Roto-zip for a clean look.
There is a nice volume difference when you get knee-deep (or so to speak) in the throttle yet the noise is easy enough to control when you need it to. Basically it's only as loud as your twist on the grip lets it get.
I get alot of compliments on the sound of my exhaust as well. I got the Cycle Shack sound for $12 bucks and about 45 minuted of my time. Smart money in my book.
