I can guarantee you that I do nothing that affects you in your own home during any activity. Ever heard of sleep? Did you know that kids often sleep during the day? Many people work at night and sleep during the day? I can very well guess that you wouldn’t give a damn, its all about you.

My oberservations are based on research, mufflers on newer bikes do have a lot to do with pollution, and all bikes are affected (by affecting back pressure). 1 illegally equipped motorcycle can easily generate more air pollution than 80 automobiles - according to the california air resources board. Businesses making these modifications (referred to as tampering) are supposed to be liable for fines up to $10k per bike.

Similarly, the comments regarding safety are simply misinformed, just do a little research. Let me help:

Some motorcyclists profess to believe that “loud pipes save lives,” although research tends to contradict that popular axiom.

“Loud Pipes Save Lives” or The Madness Behind the Myth

Pat Hahn of the state of Minnesota’s Motorcycle Safety Center says he understands individual expression. But he says the idea that loud pipes save lives is a myth. Hahn says there’s a problem with the safety theory because the pipes direct the sound backwards.

The EPA also considered the issue of “noise visibility” as popularized by the slogan, “loud pipes save lives”. This is the theory that a small group of motorcyclists believes that they are making themselves more conspicuous to other motorists in traffic by modifying their motorcycle exhaust systems to produce an excessive level of exhaust noise. The EPA concluded that the proposed noise emissions regulations would have no effect on rider safety.
