“The open houses give Calgarians an opportunity to talk to City staff about how excessive vehicle noise impacts their lives ....

Boy talk about hard done by.:rolleyes: This isn't anything to do with impacting lives and more about people wanting to impose their will on others and have things their way.

Too loud is defined by the cunt's that ride their Harleys with open exhaust's or the red necks with 6" exhausts on their diesel trucks anything else IMO is tolerable.

^ I think it would of saved me a few times, I'll ride correctly, but some people on phones and eating still don't look out for me.


Other side you can scare that shit out of people and make them panic.

But still, If you ride half decently people should see you always and not here you.

My bike still has the stock pipe, but I'm thinking of buying a new one for Christmas. Set valve keeps giving me a FI light.

Zipperhead rice/crotch rocket garbage sounds like shit. Don't like the sound of a Cummins or Harley? GTFO or STFU. This is redneck Alberta, oil country. So drive your piece of shit quiet little hybrid to California and stay there.

You do realize that only the lower portion of people who own these vehicles agree with you right? True enthusiasts realize that these are problems and actually want to solve them in a way that benefits everyone. All you do by having this attitude is show exactly the kind of person you are and reinforce the misconception that everyone who rides a Harley or drives a truck is a redneck with the IQ of a cantaloupe.

Civic's and 600's that rip around can have an annoying exhaust at times however it's relatively quiet. It's the Harleys with the open exhaust systems that make my ears bleed, and the guys in their jacked up diesel trucks that are obnoxiously loud and spew black smoke everywhere. Alberta is oil country but that doesn't mean we have to be ignorant pricks when it comes to the exhaust's on our vehicles. There is nothing wrong with a diesel truck and/or harley as long as it doesn't piss everyone off as it drives by.

Hooray! The monthly loud pipes thread is here!!

Loud pipes piss people off.

I've had a stock pipe on my street bikes for 15 years now, and surprisingly enough I'm not dead yet! I can count the number of times I've been cut off or 'lane-changed' on one hand, and it was never something I couldn't handle with judicious application of the throttle, brakes or handling.
