I confess that I've swapped back to the OEM pipe from the Staintune just to give my ears a bit of a break (temporarily? 
). If I only rode every now and then I'd leave it on, but as I ride pretty much everyday in the city it's just a tad loud and I'm sick of having to put foam earplugs in just to ride to work, cafe, gym etc...(still love the Staintune for the hills!) Took about 5 min to swap over so it's not a big deal...but..
my real confession is that I'm enjoying having the OEM pipe on again much more than I thought I would! It's so whisper quiet and peaceful that it puts me in a zen state and I find myself waving to people at bus stops
My hooligan factor is close to 0!
