The original question is just like "why do people climb mountains, swim large bodies of water, try to break speed records or do cross word puzzles".:yawn: It's what they enjoy.

It is indeed a state of mind, and it's fine, at least up to a certain level of loudness. What's silly are the excuses people make for doing it: more power (by itself, not enough to justify the cost), loud pipes save lives (nonsense).

To paraphrase Burt Munro :
"Anyone can buy a bike that can go fast but it takes a true individual to take a bike and make it go faster than it was meant to."

Singer Sound...
Nothing wrong with personalizing our stuff; same reason some of us get tattoos, grow our hair or shave our heads, etc. Here's to self-expression!
As far as exhaust systems go, I like the strong and silent type... the Singer sound on the T100 has actually mellowed in its old age...

Q: Why do some guys hang fake rubber bull testicles from their bumper?
A: Same reason guys need super-loud exhaust: As a substitute for real ones. :loser:
Q: Why do people keep going to the polls knowing all they're gonna get is another Republicat or Demican crook and that nothing will change?
A: Same reason guys buy new exhaust: They fool themselves into thinking if it makes noise and costs more money, it must be better. :nut:
Q: Why does my ass itch all the time?
A: Same reason guys need to buy new exhaust: It's an itch that exists purely for the purpose of scratching it. :hj:
Q: Why do I think that The Miniature Genitalia is a great name for a band?
A: Same reason guys buy loud exhaust: So you can make it your own. :kick:
Oh, were those questions supposed to be rhetorical? :lol2:

I dunno, I've wondered the same thing from time to time. It does sometimes seem a bit obsessive, but I get it. I wouldn't mind some TORs but that's as far as I would go. I doubt the claim of improved mileage. If you increase airflow you must increase fuel as well to maintain mixture, so greater performance at the expense of fuel efficiency. I could be wrong.
Negative. Stock for 6 months and 3,000 miles = 38 - 42 mpg
Both bikes piped, boxes moded, big jets = 48 - 52 mpg

If you don't understand I can't explain it to you.
Amen brother.

1. I like the look of the upswepts better.
2. Not into loud, but the Staintunes have a nice sound, unlike the stock pipes.
3. Stainless steel.
4. The urge to remove and bolt on things because I can.
Not necessarily in that order.
#4 is important for me. I like to believe that I improve things
(Not always the case , but at least, its different )I've also been on lots of other forums, and much of the post stays the same, ie:
- the stock exhaust sucks, should I buy brand X or Y
- the stock seat is as comfortable as a brick
- the stock suspension is crappy
etc, etc...
(And - which oil to use , lol!)
