Guys, I know we all like our cars to sound muscular, and you guys with Harleys like yours to sound...however they sound. But believe it or not, we don't live in a vacuum, and when you drive through neighborhoods with people in them, the volume of some of those bikes is just ridiculous. As least most car exhausts can be driven tamely when needed, but a Harley-type bike is loud without even trying.
So come blast by my house with your Harley, but don't complain when I set up a concert by your house and disturb your afternoon.

I had a 05' with shorty headers, no cats, xpipe, and muffler deletes. I ran it for a while and then put high flow cats on. Now that was loud...and I never got pulled over for it.
Now, I did get pulled over for doing well over 135 on the 5 through Camp Pendleton.... (I was a lot younger and more stupid)
But never said anything about my exhaust.

The 2010s sound decent stock. Almost like a 2011+ with GT500s...

Was told to leave he didn't want to see for the rest of the night LOL. SORRY but most are running around with drag pipes/off road systems on the street with there bikes

They look great next to the HID's.

That's precisely why I DIDN'T get HIDs. I don't really need them but I've had them on my last few cars and liked them. But... with this car, I hated the mismatch between the fogs and HIDs so I went with the standard headlights. I also like having the turn signal on the inside of the headlight as opposed to the outside.

I don't know anything about adding exhausts and mods and such..I just don't think it's practical use of money..that's just my opinion and i'm sorry to offend any hobbyists. Neither is a bass booming stereo system that sounds absolutely awful from outside the car. Back in college I added knight rider lights and the sound effects pa system to my Tercel...that was fun ..and i got pulled over for it..but i told the cop ..i checked with a precinct if it was legal first and they said ..you won't get a ticket for it unless you were doing something else...and he let it go because i knew it was somewhat illegal and i wasn't doing any harm with them..As for now i do n't do much to my car except replacing the license plate frame..if i can get my hands on a black trans am one day...then that'll be different..

Eating out at restaurants is not a practical use of money.
Going to the movies is not a practical use of money.
High-speed internet is not a practical use of money.
