I ride a Harley to work every day. Yes it has louder than stock pipes. NO it does not have straight pipe/drag pipes. Maybe in CA the drivers DO NOT GET ON their Cell phones and run down the freeways. But in Texas ,it’s soccer Mom’s in 6000lbs SUV’s throwing fast food to the kids in the third back seat, putting on her make-up and talking on the phone while cruising down the freeway. She does not know I even exist and if I interrupt her call with my trying to get around the swerving and no signal lane-changing vehicle. I’m sooooo sorry, if I have distracted her enough to not KILL me!!!!!!
