Jasmina; have you heard of target fixation? It's a distraction that focuses your attention at the expense of whatever else you may or may not need to pay attention to. Are you familiar with the rate of accidents caused by rubberneckers distracted by whatever is going on other than their own driving. Now picture yourself in the middle of a sea of cagers all focusing on that gawd awful racket made by that jerk motorcyclist. Thier focus is on you instead of driving their cage!
Loud pipes do not save lives. They distract drivers and they inadvertently create haters of motorcycles that complain to the authorities and before you know it: new restrictions on motorcycles!
However if your kids are screaming; it will shut them up but can cause their ears to bleed!
