I hate loud pipes except for the one on my bike.

Has anybody checked their stock exhaust for an EPA stamp?
It's interesting how the tone of the ads has changed over time. 35 years ago, it was harder to pass draconian legislation. These days, it has become a snap as collectivism has permeated society. There's definitely more of an attitude of urgency in the newer messages compared to in decades past.
The National Park Service is currently looking at noise impact from motorcycles, possibly with an eye to more regulation. Can't say that I blame them.
I remember riding sweep through in Bastrop a while back. There were six or seven bikes riding through this neighborhood and a couple were very loud. It was a nice day and several people out working in their yards bothered to take the time, look up and wave the Hawaiian peace sign as we went by. It's bad form, anyway you look at it.
Wow, waking the dead in an old thread, are we? Think I said my piece long ago. Both my bikes have stock mufflers on 'em, put it that way. I get just as irritated as those folks waving the Hawaiian peace sign when noisy folks are bothering me, be it a boom box in a car, a loud motorcycle, or just the neighbor weed eating when I'm trying to watch TV.
