So....... now that the stingers have been put back in the conversation from the original post some time ago, let me give you the prospective straight from the sneaky customer's mouth (pipe). To set the record straight for everyone. I put stingers on my bike because I knew I was going to be riding in traffic and wanted to make sure even with my own belief that every time I throw my leg over the seat my mind gets put into the constant never ending revolving words of "Every single person on the road today is trying to kill me" and they're damn good at it! Watch a few Utube videos and you'll be convinced. I am very, very, aware of my surrounding's every single second of my ride until I'm back home and off my bike and not a second sooner! My theory was that with even my constant attention to the road and my mind reminding me of the killer instinct that the car drivers have of laying me to rest. I thought "loud pipes could only help with my preservation, right".
So I bought them NOT knowing that the triple's engine could melt a piston from wringing it out all the time. I don't race my bike on the street or get in a rush to go anywhere on it because of my paranoia of getting wiped out by some texting idiot. I do when the coast is clear in every direction, I will roll on the throttle and have some fun! In hindsight now, it might have changed me from buying the stingers because of the melting pistons. But, if you look around almost every Harley you see 98% of them you'll hear them loud and clear. So I don't feel to bad about the noise, do you think they care? And, there's a bunch of them and most are a bit on the older side like myself at 55. So the comment of "loud pipes will make people hate bikers more" begs the question, "Then why have Harley's numbers only gone up and up for a very long period of time"? I personally like the ding, ding, ding, not the thump, thump, thump, of the Milwaukee vibrator. To answer another question, "I'm on a roll now fella's", I don't get a headache from riding it because I'm wearing a helmet in case they make it past my noise and very paranoid mind force field. A helmet is good ear protection. I might put the cans on but, then again I might not. SO, that's the rest of the story. 
The triple RULES!! Thank you very much for reading!! Stumpy
But it didn't take unsilenced chambers, just the "quiet" kind.
