You wanna know whats funny is that harley owners are allowed a higher decibel output than owners of any other make of motorcycle around here.

Thats right if you own a harley you can run those open sausage pipes legally. Obsurd but true!

Where'd you come up with that??????

California Motor Vehicle Code
27200. (a) The Department of Motor Vehicles shall not register on a
dealer's report of sale a new motor vehicle, except an off-highway
motor vehicle subject to identification as provided in Division 16.5
(commencing with Section 38000), which produces a maximum noise
exceeding the applicable noise limit at a distance of 50 feet from
the centerline of travel under test procedures established by the
Department of the California Highway Patrol.

27202. For the purposes of Section 27200, the following noise
limits shall apply to any motorcycle, other than a motor-driven
cycle, manufactured:

(1) After 1969, and before 1973 ............ 88 dbA
(2) After 1972, and before 1975 ............ 86 dbA
(3) After 1974, and before 1986 ............ 83 dbA
(4) After 1985 ............................. 80 dbA

Hmmmm, I musta been dreaming when I read that.

But judging by the racket that the harleys make compared to my dual sports it sure seems that way!

You are knowledgeable with the vehicle codes. Are you a leo?

Thanks for schooling me on that...

The 2009 Muzzy w/ headpipe is your best bet. They are all around the same and with the 2009 edition Muzzy claims they've managed to get it a little quieter.

Oh: F: OFF: Tell Eric Estrada to get a life. The noise your bike makes by purchashing approved parts, by the DOT and other departments is a OK. Parts you buy thru this Website are usually cool. But as in any purchase BUYER beware. I'ts your *** on the line. California sucks by the way.

I hope that they do crack down on the V-twins noise.

I'm an LAO......legislative activities officer for our club. That's fancy talk to say that I'm concerned about our OHV activities.

Ride on

At risk of being an old thread dredger, any other generalizations on which pipes are quietest?

I'm looking at a DG pipe right now (because frankly, it's the cheapest thing on ebay). I'm seeing them for $160 and for another $25 can throw a silencer insert if needed.
