I live in HD country aka home of the straight pipes everywhere. I'm not talking open headers. I'm talking about NO HEADERS AT ALL just a dang piece of pipe. Trust me you are not going to buy an exhaust for a busa that is as loud as half these HD guys have around here.
I live in the sticks aka the hills aka redneckville we don't even have to get inspected where I live at all. Never have and I doubt we ever will.
As far as riding in the back, it's not like riding in the back is some sort of punishment. I could care less if someone gets butthurt about how loud my exhaust is and wants me to ride in the back. I would rather ride in the back at my pace than worry about listening to people complain about my exhaust.
I bought the exhaust because I liked the way it looks on the bike. If the loudness gets to me, I will have a special baffle made for it and not that cheesy thing that comes with it.
Too each his own I guess. I think bikes with mufflers is sissyfied and they should ride in the back to not embarrasse my freeflowing exhaust/bike and I..
