Message	like the big "cans". Jursidictions are adverse to the Fast and the Furious look and the noise caused buy the guys with the "modded" Hondas. But for some reason it's OK to blow out our ears with a Harley. Anyway, I got rid of the best exhaust I had, the HKS HiPer, for a more conservative LaBree oval tip exhaust. It fits in the stock location much better than the HKS and so far it has yet to draw the attention of my local police. I too had my can-like exhausts for a while, since 1998 (Greddy then HKS) without any problem and was stopped twice this year. Good luck and replace your exhaust.
