Some of you may not know that some states require that the federal stamp has to be on the pipe.Only stock pipes have this stamp.States are starting to enforce this rather than a DB test.Remember you cannot mod the emissions of any motorcycle,and we all know somebody will do just that.
What i am saying is hang on to that pipe as you may need to put it back on for inspections ect,that pipe will set you back if you need to replace it.The last AMA mag,april 2012, had a wright up on this topic as N.H. is looking at this now. Ca. kicks in in 2013.
If this catches on more states will use this a way to shut up bikes rather than another sound test,i know of about three so far.Some local towns now check this as well.
