For some this may seem like blasphemy but I am thinking out chopping my old mufflers off just leaving straight pipes there. Before I do this does anyone know if this will negatively effect the back pressure and ruin performance. Loud pipes save lives, yes it sounds... Harley like... but in my area I seriously and honestly feel a louder bike could save my butt.This is not so much to be loud and obnoxious as it is a safety measure if you will. I was also wondering if any of you knew who might make a different style of pipes for a cb 650.
