Do you ever search for ambulances or cops as you're driving so you can get out of the way? No, you first hear them. I may not be as loud as a siren but the slip on I just put on my bike is bound to save my life countless times down the road, and I'm strong believing that.

It doesn't matter how strongly you believe it. Riders with many more years under their belt all eventually realize its a false belief. You'll get there as well. All newbies put obnoxiously loud exhausts on their first streetbike. May as well hang a rabbits foot on your keychain for an equivalent amount of safety gained. Of course a rabbits foot doesn't annoy your neighbors and lead to those pesky anti-motorcycling laws quite as quickly.
