I have a Harley. I put a 2 into 1 pipe on it that extends a bit past the rear tire. It's as unobnoxious as I could find. I had a 93 FXR, I put pipes on it that extended past the rear tire a bit too.
Loud pipes are boring. Not to mention hard on your ears.
This loud pipes save lives nonsense is just that. If you need loud pipes or a horn for your safety you should not be riding a motorcycle.
If you just like the sound, like I did when at 16 I punched holes in my first cars muffler to make it loud, well ok. But there is no good reason for having loud pipes.
For me, my GTL has a fabulous exotic sound that orchestrates from that incredible engine. I used to own a 99 996 Porsche, same thing, not loud but exotic and pure music.
