Sorry, did you say something? I can't hear what you're saying over the rumble of my pipes...

Loud pipes are annoying. At least that is what the tailgaiting cell phone talking cage drivers think. I don't really care what they think though. WHen they get near me I rev up my loud pipes and they back right away.

It depends. On I 95 in Northern NJ near NYC, I have witnessed a few times that the cagers got so pissed at loud pipes that he drove the biker off the road.

Road rage is real, Harley is no match to even an aggressive driver in a minivan in congested roadway. Loud pipes can bring dead, trust me. Respect those who make a living on roads.

LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES. You know the beauty of this country is the freedom to decide what you ride and how you want it to sound. So I'm going to continue to ride LOUD and PROUD.

Yup. Loud pipes are great when next to some jackass using a cell phone. I highly recommend it.

+1... I love my loud pipes, I love other peoples loud pipes and I love hearing a group of bikes rumble towards me as I watch jealously.

I also like the sound of a 1969 chevy camaro V8 or a Hot Rod.

I don't like the sound of rice burner "fast and furious" type cars but the do and I say go for it.
