Hey, whats the deal with some harley riders always wanting to shatter windows as they're passing by? I mean OK, some like hearing the engine but this is just nuts - there is one guy in my area who's doing his best to turn me into vicious killer [:@]

previous owner of the zx6r i bought had taken the baffles and packing out of the vance and hines exhaust. basicly turned it into a resonator can. at idle the exhaust could almost overpower the horn. above 5000rpm it is deafening.

sure "loud pipes save lives" to a point. but too loud is also bad.

my replacement baffles are in transit

Hopefully the couch leaks a lot of oil for the added effect.
