I want to know what goes through a cops mind before he pulls someone over.

Agreed.

Call me unAmerican, but I HATE the sound of an unmuffled Harley.

And none of this "Loud pipes save lives" nonsense.

[Mr1der]

hell greg, harleys tend to be loud regardless...

they've got a thump to them...I'd rather feel them then hear them though..

Wouldn't say that you're UnAmerican, I'd just say that you actually like your ability to hear .

Oh, about that Honda/4 Banger vs. V8 exhaust notes. There is a HUGE difference. The V8 emits a "low" frequency "growl". WHereas the 4-cylinder Usually enits this high frequency "angry bee in a can" kind of sound. Also, it doesn't hel that the 4-banger guys constanly rev their engines, and even worse, when they are cruising at 70MPH, their exhaust is really loud. Now a V8 exhaust at high speeds, Usually quiets down a little bit.

Tell me this, when a four-banger with loud exhaust passes you on the freeway, and a V8 with a loud exhaust passes you on the freeway, which one do you hear the most from?

9 times out of 10, it's the 4-cylinder.

Oh, and isn't there a noise ordinace. I know there is definitely a limit to the Db level you can produce aftre a certain time at night, but is there a restriction during the day? If so, that would be the reason for pulling over 4-banger

This isn't ALWAYS the case.

You need to hear my 240 with the BRM on it.

Sounds like a 4.6 with a lumpy cam and an attitude.

to give you an idea, when i pull in our garage, you can FEEL it throughout the house if you stand still, its deep not loud
