don't think mines that bad and i run a strait pipe, no muffler. i have the injection pump adjusted so i don't blow a lot of black smoke.
I straight piped my 99 QC 4x4 24V, fired it up at 7:30 in the morning and headed out of neighborhood, two neighbors heard it and were dragging garbage cans to the street in pajamas...funny as hell they thought the sound of my Dodge was the trash truck.
I could care less what other people do to their vehicles, I did plenty of stupid s h !t too but grew up and tired of much of it. The only part I disagree with is the fk'tard vandalizing the guys car. I can't stand muzzle brakes, especially on AR15's at the range with people who are plinking at the bench. As much as I hate that s h !t I have no right to walk over and dump a handful of sand in the open action.
The Corsa Extreme is one of the biggest offenders and I can't stand them because they are seriously loud under power.
What are "short stacks on a sportster"? Drag pipes?

Short "Shots"

If they're anything like the V&H big shots I had on my dyna, they are obnoxiously loud as hell! I got a D&D fat cat on it now. Flows better and not near as loud.
I run my 67 Shelby GT500 with header pipes and glass packs without the guts and 2" pipes, its loud when I open up the 428, I get pulled over alot and I say to the cops it's not any louder than as Harley's with straight pipes and you do not pull them over, "WHY"
I don't really mind the sound of a well-tuned performance car. What burns me is loud, obscene C-rap music blaring from the groids' section 8 house down the street.
How about a highly tuned and modified Honda Civic?
Nothing like blood flowing out of your ears as a car hits a whopping 27mph.
I freely admit those rice rocket wannabes annoy me worse than a real American muscle car rumble.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

They have those in FL too?
I thought it might be a West Coast thing.

I have a '19 GT with the PP1 and active exhaust is an option, it's not on every car and is not on mine.
The aftermarket cat-backs can be loud, very loud obnoxiously loud and stupid as fk'!
OTOH, to intentionally jack with someones personal property, and that is probably a grand for the cat-back is criminal.
Surely a male with no balls, he needs a can of great stuff up his ass!
Agree, it kinda sucks for the dude who owns the "mufflers"
But, what should folks do. Grow huevos, find where the dude (woman?) gets their morning coffee, wait till they park, give them a thumbs up on the exhaust noise and the universal roll down the window sign,.............................................
then sucker punch the offender? With a weighted glove?
Neighbors.........................
reminds me of Misty's thread.

After 9 years on the flight line and 4000 hours flying time in C-130s I like quiet. I only find Harley riders annoying when they ride up and down the street but don't hit the road. I call the little 4 cylinders with the wings on the back and a trumpet bell on the end of the exhaust pipe Buzz Bombs.

There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Probably the worst up here are jacked up diesel pickups with 8 inch exhausts and Harleys with straight pipes.
Those people should be shot.
In the face.
Repeatedly.
Person rented the house @ the end of the block. He had a V-Twin bike of some manner. Our street is 1-block long and cut off @ both ends, he thought it was his own personal 1-block drag-strip. I had a short and pointed conversation with him that it wasn't. He'd then open the garage door and fire up the V-Twin @ midnight or later and just rev the heck outta it, but didn't race up and down the street anymore. Probably 6Mo later, I see my street on the evening news and find out that several folks had followed Mr. V-Twin home from the bar and beaten him with a bat and a tire-iron. Shortly thereafter, he didn't live on our street anymore.
I haven't really any problem w/loud exhaust, current neighbor of 18yrs has a pretty "throaty" Harley. I've got a 400HP small-block in a ~2800# car that's not what anyone would consider "quiet" but it's not obnoxious loud either. I "limp" that car through residential neighborhoods. I have 0 issues with folks who like to "open up" their performance machines, but, not in residential areas.
