You want loud? run a straigh pipe into a y-pipe,then run a pipe up to each side of your head,and rev away!!! I guarantee it will be loud enough for you then,and you will get an idea of what it would be like to ride behind someone with a loud pipe. Noise does not always equal power,no matter how 'cool' it sounds.

 

I put an fmf pipe on mine its loud but only when you pour it on. Just be thoughtfull of others when you ride. And there are other reasons places got shut down not just from loud bikes. Im sure insurance was a huge factor as well. Because if someone got hurt severly they could sue the land owner for everything hes got. Just my .02.

i have a white bros pipe and I think it is pretty loud ilove it people turn there heads when i come through i had to put a 160 jet in it to so that gave me aittle more power with the pipe. I ride in the woods though and there are tons off people with loud pipes so just get what you want and dont listen to anyone else they cant take the land that we ride on cause we own it so fuc$ them
