I was a little worried about this thread and considered adding this subject of the things we can't talk about list, but so far you guys have done an admirable job. Lets keep it up.
It may all be a moot point someday as the Gubmint will undoubtedly pass legislation requiring the use of stamped exhausts that meet noise and emissions requirements eventually, but enforcement would be a nightmare.

BTW I got my one and only loud pipes ticket with a set of fishtail mufflers on a Harley Panhead in 1969 in the Village of Fairfax, Ohio. I was 19 then and didn't think they were too loud. The officer who could not get his nightstick in the end of the pipes to verify silencers disagreed. So did the Mayor in the Mayor's Court in the village I got busted in. If I remember correctly it cost me $37 plus court costs.... around $50 total. A weeks wages in 1969 for this kid.
In the intervening years I have come to appreciate a quiet set of pipes.
