"Loud pipes save lives" is just an excuse to dink with the bike. Nobody can substantiate the claim that they save lives. It "justifies" spending $800 on customization to the wifey. I'm all for customization, but loudness is just too overdone these days, now it's just noise and obnoxious.

Personally, I'd rather have a low really good sound quality than lots of just plain noise.
