Glad that you're okay. If you want loud pipes, that's cool--just don't think that they're going to save you. You're going to start depending on them and actually think that they're going to save your @ss. That's a big assumption on something that hasn't been proven. Like cmptrnm.1 implied, it's your smarts and anticipation that are going to save you. Riding zones has saved my @ss numerous and every time it does, I thank my MSF instructor to myself.
