Straight pipes/open headers

[Headbanger02_imp]

Some loud pipes I can't stand either....the popping and backfiring upon deceleration is very annoying, my chopper use to do this, I hated it, did the pair valve removal, now it is loud and sweet rolling on and off the throttle, I don't blast it through my neighborhood, but you do hear me coming, they always look up and wave. this is no different then the ups jets that I hear flying over my house getting ready to land. Some of the young kids in my neighborhood will give me the roll the throttle hand signal an I will burp the pipes a little for them, they get a quick smile from it, sometimes they just wave and I wave back. I have other young teenage kids in my neighborhood that have dirt bikes that ride in a woods/field about a quarter of a mile from my house, I can't see them ride, but I can hear them, it is kinda loud, but it doesn't bother me cause I'm thinking how much fun they are having and wish I was physically able to ride with them, they have invited me many times, they don't know how lucky they are to be able to have a place to ride in this area without having to trailer to get somewhere. There are two neighbors that allow them to ride between there houses to get there.
I'm OK with my CB being quiet, however I wish I wasn't cheap and buy a stain tune slip-on, maybe one day, my valkyrie has a sweet but not loud sound of it's own, my enduro is almost as quiet as the CB, again to cheap to buy and fmf pipe with fuel controller. I could go on and on and this is not a rant, please trust me on this. however empty sea I don't appreciate the dips..t comment, rather strong in my opinion.... Again, ferret I do appreciate who you are and what you contribute here...
