Have you ever been driving a car and have one of those 200Db Hardlys pass you? Have you ever noticed that you don't hear them until they are right next to you?
Don't you realize that loud pipes don't save lives, they just piss people off!
Not that I have anything against a reasonable amount of noise, I generally make it myself. But you don't have to be heard two miles away to enjoy it.
As for the Gold Star pipe, the Hitchcock pipe is very nice. It comes with a removable insert in it that is reasonably noisy. It sounds pretty good and shouldn't send your neighbors running. With it out, it still isn't terribly loud, but it could grate on some people. As for shipping I think Jack paid $75.00 to get his here from Hitchcock. It as fairly quick shipping though, Less than a week.
If you ant a bit more noise get the $69.00 Dominator from Motorcycle Superstore. It's listed in their Sales or Clearance section. That one is pretty loud, but can be packed with fiberglass muffler stuffing.
I had an EFI muffler on l mine and it as about a medium noisy thing. I could hear it a block away, but it wasn't irritating, just a nice thump.
Do not get the whole GoldStar exhaust system from Hitchcocks. The headpipe is too big for the UCEs EFI tuning and they will lose a lot of bottom end power.
