related: I hate hate HATE motorcyclists who say "loud pipes save lives". Dude, you're the idiot who chooses to drive around in a very dangerous vehicle; you don't get to do that then create a negative externality to make it a BIT safer

Loud pipes mostly serve to make bikers feel more macho. Their chief practical effect is to warn people sitting in traffic that some bozo is "lane-sharing" his way past you, so don't open your door.

had a hilarious thread on twitter ~5 years ago where someone was talking about how great loud pipes are, and not only do they save lives, but they're exciting, everyone loves them I pushed back he didn't believe me 20 of my friends chimed in "yeah, dude, EVERYONE hates them"

to his credit, he took the pushback seriously and had to reevaluate - he was torn between knowing he was right, taking all of us seriously, being in some sort of cognitive dissonance, and being sort of retroactively ashamed
