A lot of Harley owners buy the loudest exhausts possible, with little to no regard for performance. Most of the short exhausts actually LOSE power instead of gaining. Then they rev their bikes everywhere all the time, while wearing head to toe gear that's all Harley branded. Sounds like a ricer to me... lol

The above applies to what I call "Harley guys" not "motorcycle guys" or bikers. Harley guys are the guys that won't even acknowledge you unless you're on a late model Harley or a chopper that looks like it came from Orange County Choppers. Motorcycle guys aren't total snobs; Harley guys are.

When I was younger my best friend's family had several Harleys. They get the loudest possible exhaust for safety reasons, not because they're trying to be cool. Louder the exhaust, more likely a car will notice you on the road.

This has been widely shown to have little-to-no evidence supporting it (save for anecdotal).
