I forgot about the Honda's with the big tailpipes. I believe the cagers want their cars to sound like ****** rockets. Those things look hilarious, almost dragging the road. They do sound like a ****** rocket, albeit a nasal one.
Some of those suckers have some go power though. There is a guy at College who has a Plymouth Neon SRT4 that's making 350 horses from a motor the size of an ice chest. He consistently runs low 10's and I ain't screwing with him with the R3. It might be embarrassing, to me.
It's one thing to have loud pipes on your bike. It's another to let everyone else know you have them. I have no problems with aftermarket pipes on bike. I have problems with the general douchebaggery that goes on after the installation. ESPECIALLY in town.
