Have heard a "stock" H-D and while noisier than a big Honda or BMW, they aren't too bad. But on a rough count, I bet that only 1 out of 25 Harleys has the stock pipes.
Other than compensating for the rider's other shortcomings loud pipes do nothing more than annoy everyone else. But then the average Harley owner (and all crotch-rocket riders) seem to live to annoy people. I don't buy the loud pipes save lives argument, especially since modern cars are so well insulated and most people have the windows up and the AC on all the time. I wonder if there is any data to back it up?
Almost everyplace has noise ordinances. I don't know why they aren't enforced. All a cop needs is a sound meter and a ticket book. Seems like free money to me.
