[QUOTE="Racerdude, post: 1062196, member: 18593"] just a word of advice, dont try to convince a dirt track tuner that sound isnt needed. we have some of the loudest bikes of them all, but its never a problem for us because we race at tracks where cars race, and we are about 1/10th of the noise of a car race. for those of you who want to dispute that, i live 3 miles from the car track where i also race my motorcycle. every friday night i can hear the cars racing from 6-10pm (i love the sound too) i ran home this weekend to get my spare ez-up in the middle of the racing, i couldnt hear one single bike. i have down pipes on my race bikes, sound just isnt an issue for us really in our sport. after all this nonsense i just posted though, i will save face and look responsible. my trail bike will always have a stock exhaust on it, maybe even a q pipe in coming months. i ride a lot at the land between the lakes recreation area, and it has been under the watchful eye for years now. i also have a practice track outside of the city limits where i grew up. when you are in a situation with neighbors and non riders, its not an issue of power, its an issue of you having fun while respecting others that dont share the love of the sport you are involved in. what i have noticed is that since my sport takes place at designated racing facilities where people expect noise, we dont have a problem with our pipes. most motocross tracks are put on an old farm or something of that nature where people dont expect it. it all goes back to the "jet plane" analogy. if you are riding in a place where people dont expect the noise, just ride quiet. and with words from forrest gump, thats all i have to say about that [/QUOTE]
