This brings to mind a drop-dead gorgeous young lady who used to attend the HSTA rallies. (She's probably a drop-dead gorgeous forty-something now...) She had a t-shirt that read "The Louder the Pipe, the Smaller the Penis."

Funny... the best thing I ever did was take the two brothers exhaust off my ST11... after 6 months of noise, I could stand it no longer. The relative silence of the OEM exhaust was so nice!
Were you in Paradise during Camp Fire? That must have been horrific.
I understand that everybody has their preference and I'm not knock any but I really like a quiet exhaust these days. Every now and then I hear a car or bike with a great sounding exhaust note but then remember what it was like living with high dBAs runnin' round through my helmet. Relative Silence is how I roll.
Sure, motorcycles need to be louder like fart pipes on econo-boxes need to be even more annoying.
I'm with you on the quiet. My last bike was 1800 cc's of Incredibly Loud Noise. The kind that sets of car alarms. I tried to quiet it with baffles but in the end I let someone else who likes noise buy it (who fortunately lives many miles away). Nothing wrong with a little Jetson noise.
I bought a pair of cheap "motorcycle mufflers" on Amazon and bought some pipe and had my local muffler guy bend it up a little and wrapped it in a red fiberglass to prevent over heating the plastic bags right above it. Personally I like the sound it makes. Doesn't scream like a street bike at 14k but makes up for it with a ton of "exhaust flash" under decel (some call it back fire but that implies a lot more than what is happening here[too much air in the exhaust]). Simply, It's loud. But at times when I try to ride at night it's too loud. I JUST put the stock back on as I plan to add a radio... been on a day and I don't like it. I want something in between. Anyone ever try modifying the stock muffler. I'm willing to try with yalls help. However I don't know what a cross section of it looks like at all so I have not the slightest where start.
My dad has said that on his Goldwing they drilled holes in the rear of it and it gave it a deeper sound. Which these are very similar mufflers.
Any existing known ways to modify them please message me.
