Poll: What kind of exhaust are you running?

[the Ferret]

It's worth noting that in my experience, both of my bikes sound louder to me when I'm on them enjoying the ride than they do when I've been an observer watching someone else take either of them for a spin. The few times that i've let someone else try out either my Hawk GT or my CB one of the first thoughts that comes to mind as I watch them accelerate away is just how quiet they sound (the Hawk equipped with the stock exhaust and the CB1100 with the Staintune).

Just the opposite for me Guth,

On my old Bonnie no one riding or standing could hear ANY exhaust sounds, and with the Triumph "off road" mufflers (what a crock), it was barely noticeable to the rider, however to anyone behind it got a hint of what a Bonneville was meant to sound like when it accelerated away.
