I've seen a lot of posts on here where guys ask about increasing or changing the sound of the exhaust note.
I can understand it. The stock exhaust is pretty quiet.
And a nice throaty rumble does sound pretty cool.
BUT....
Increasing the exhaust noise level also increases awareness of you getting on the throttle and can be a magnet for the LEO that are in your area. Yes...it also increases awareness to the 4-wheel loonies that you are there and is a sort of "safety factor". And it probably does a good intimidation job in some instances. I'm just wondering if the benefit of louder mufflers is offset by the amount of attention paid to you by people you DON'T want taking a closer look at what you're doing. You know...like..."don't look at me...I'm nice and quiet and obeying the law. Look at that guy over there with the loud mufflers that's obviously breaking a hundred laws"
Opinions and feedback welcome. But don't get me wrong. I'm just spitballing a possibility. Not saying anything negative about guys that install louder mufflers.
