That in itself is what drove a lot of companies out of the U.S.

Trump has said , he would ease Regulations.
That would help a lot if he takes the EPA down a notch.

Appearantly , folks fail to remember rivers burning. Companies polluting ground water, dumping poisons into the ground and damaging crops.

But I guess it okay for your grandchildren to drink polluted water and eat genetically enhanced foods.

Goodbye EPA. It will be reduced to a shadow of the bureaucratic monster it has become. Everyone wants clean air and water but when this bureaucracy started to focus on motorcycles as a priority, it clearly had lost its way!! Time for a meat cleaver to be used in order to bring this monstrosity government agency down to size!

With all respects to the Fuel Moto guys, I hope this thread doesn't turn into a political one. That's about the quickest way to get a thread locked or removed. They don't like that here lol

it ain't like Fuel Moto is adding much.

and what in the hell does the decibel level of MY exhaust pipes have to do with burning rivers and polluted water?

Sometimes less is more......

Especially when hijacking a thread to babble on about politics....

It's been my experience, when talking politics... the "other" side doesn't care about your opinion anymore than you care about theirs.... almost always a waste of time/effort..

I listened to the M8 video as soon as Fuel Moto put it up and my first thought was that doesn't represent them at all. I knew the core wasn't changing from talking with the shop, so there is no way they were that quiet.

The Hi-Rollers sound amazing. I am coming from CFRs on my last three bikes. I can honestly say they are a very close comparison to each other with the Hi Rollers having a few other added benefits like tuneabilty, lots of low end torque, no decel popping and best of all they quiet down as you let off the throttle for very comfortable highway riding. These things rock and they are top notch quality.

I will write up a review once I get them. Just thought some of you would be as excited as me to get them now...

Maybe I can get this thread back on track.. I reviewed Fuel Moto's Hi Roller Mufflers over in the Milwaukee Eight (M8) section of the forum . Absolutely amazing sound.

Here is my before and after Video..

Significant difference...!!!

The FuelMoto mufflers sound great... are they the EPA approved mufflers?

After about 700 miles on my street cannons they sound like the Hi Rollers, maybe even a little deeper. I posted a video about a month ago somewhere on the M8 thread. Hi Rollers may get even louder with miles. If they are EPA compliant then they both meet the decibel requirements. Tone and tenner may be different. No intent to offend anyone here. But I went with the street cannons because there was nothing else available at the time. I have always went V&H but I will likely stay with the street cannons now that they have come alive.
