I am going to wait until next year until considering the louder and more performance oriented pipes.

One reason is that I am doing a lot of riding in the twisty, hilly neighborhood streets here in Incline Village which are wonderful for practicing low speed skills, tight turns etc.. It is residential though and the quiet stock pipes I think will prevent any of the locals from coming out their houses shaking fists or worse at me.

The second reason is that I am kind of enjoying the stock sewing machine sound of the engine. It is kind of neat to blast off down a highway running through the gears without making any noise and attaining impressive rates of acceleration. Kind of like the starship Enterprise blasting through space in hyper drive.

Edit: I guess that would be warp factor. Confusing my PG13 science fiction movies.
