I hated that noise so damn much, I pulled em off, and put on a set of Corsa muffler tips with external flappers. Whenever it was idling, sounded like my Damn motor was coming apart!!!! And of course we have a lot of idle zones on the ICW down here(damn sea cows!!!), so I wanted to quiet it down a little with Mufflers anyway. Still plenty loud when I open it up, but no more headaches from idling.
