Thread: Loud Pipes?

Tweet

I just came from the ironindianriders.com forum, and had to double check to see that I wasn't still there!

yeah, loud pipes do occasionally save the day, but at the END of the day, I want to be able to hear the wife.

Or maybe hearing loss wouldn't be so bad after all, come to think of it...

anyway.. I always wear ear plugs on the Indian, and driving the 64 C10 which literally is louder inside than out. ( strange that )

Never had any REALY LOUD cars though. But my bike is fairly loud.. but not EXTREMELY loud.

Pops is right.
Running open limefires right now and they sound great. Of course they are louder than an exhaust system with mufflers, but not offensive (unless you punch it) I rarely get on my T too hard (honest) but when I do I do it smart on a open stretch of highway where the police arent sitting there waiting and I certainly do not punch it next to a car with open windows, etc, etc, out of respect for someones hearing. I can still hear my girlfriend talking and the oldies on the radio. I have not been pulled over yet and our area has its share of police. The car actually has a great mellow tone at cruise speed and a great nasty idle when you fire her up. I guess I just understand that it could be offensive and respect that with my driving. Truthfully police give me the thumbs up or wave at me when they go by. I think it is the presentation of the car that makes the difference too. AND of course with all the loud rock and soul music I hear all night with the band I am sure my headers will not be the cause of my hearing loss. Different strokes for different folks! Don Jr.

The one thing I REALLY enjoy is pulling up next to one of those idiots with loud booming bass on their stereo and watch them put up their windows.

Agreed!:lol:
