I'm not the type that is going to put crazy loud mufflers on a car and if I did, I wouldn't open it up in a neighborhood setting. I will admit to putting short stacks on my sportster, but it wasn't obnoxious and I never opened it up around our small town.
however if someone did that to me, I'd have a new hobby - finding out who it is and catching them in the act of doing it again.
I bet no one would do that to you, precisely because of how reasonable you are in the first paragraph.
