Big Jon, if you actually read the thread you would have noticed I stopped posting on it quite some time ago. I stated my case, much beyond that is a waste of time.

Just because Harley riders make lots of noise does not make it right, 2164 people attempt suicide every day, does that make them right?

I am sick of my rights being taken away because of "children" who have no stake in the community or sense of long term consequences. The same ones who will cry like a baby when some law is passed restricting them in some new way. Until they outlaw sugar and caffeine because some kid drinks a coke and goes off to shot up a school, I'll be chugging down as fast as I can and recycling the cans. Drink up Big Jon, it's only a matter of time!

Test pipes with no muffler? I'm guessing it'll be pretty damn loud...

Yes, I would have to agree with titanjc. The way mine is now is border line too loud for me, but I have gotten used to it and have figured out how to keep it quiet when I need to. Test pipes, I'm guessing, would just set it over the top as far as sound level goes. But, thats me, You on the other hand may like it a bit louder. I would try it out and see what you think. Post some video clips up when you do so.

Yeah I think it'll really depend on your personal tolerance level. I've got an Injen TD straight-tip right now, and had Helix TP's on the car for a while, but it was WAY too loud for a daily driver. It definitely sounded mean as hell though. I can't imagine how loud your exhaust would be if it was THAT straight-through, without a muffler even.

ok i dont think i'll run the Po Folk with the setup i described earlier. sound will be a concern. Cali cops are unforgiving when it comes to sound.

Turbocharged vehicles do not need backpressure because the turbocharger works off the exhaust system.

It's not about exhaust backpressure, it's about maintaining exhaust velocity. Too small a pipe will of course plug things up. too large a pipe slows down the exhaust flow and doesn't allow for proper scavanging from the cylinders. there's a lot more too this, but thats the simple answer. Fluid dynamics actually helps explain exhaust flow.
