Vaughn at Autoweek Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 If you think a loud pipe will warn cars that you're coming, science says otherwise. I just wrote this article for Autoweek. There's a link to a video detailing the study. https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a35952569/loud-pipes-do-not-save-lives/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 People should point their loud exhaust pipes forward so people would hear them coming better. Problem solved Mr. Week 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 When i were younger i used to love loud pipes, i remember getting pulled in Abercynon by a bike cop he wasn't riding he just walked into the road as i approached and waved me in. When i asked whats wrong he said I've been listening to you coming down the Cynon valley for the last 5 minutes so been waiting here for you. I almost used the "i got here as fast as i could" line but thought that might of got me more than a get it fixed ticket. Now i think their one of the main problems with getting areas shut down to motorcycles i like to sneak about all stealthy like and not announce to everyone i'm arriving. My CB is loud and not by choice every time i ride it i turn into the twat i hate but boy does it sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I have borrowed the occasional loud piped motorbike. They give me a headache after a while. Good for a quick trip, but not so fun for all day, especially if you have neighbours and do early starts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
