Loud Pipes Save Lives – What truth does 
that statement hold?
Motorcycle riders often say, "Loud pipes save 
lives.“
Are they saying the sound of an unmuffled or 
modified motorcycle exhaust is going to make the 
driving public pay attention? More people who 
drive automobiles are driving in a state of 
inattention than in the past (pre-cellphones).

Distracted drivers who are texting, talking on the cell, 
or just plain not paying attention, will suddenly snap 
to at the sound of loud motorcycle exhaust.
That in itself is going to prevent an accident? The 
roar of a loud motorcycle could cause a driver to jerk 
the wheel and run over the biker. Okay, there may 
have been occasions where the roar of loud pipes 
alerted an unsuspecting driver, and an accident did 
not occur.
Really, how many times do you think that does occur?
Not enough to make it a traffic law. More than likely, 
the loud pipes directed other drivers' attention to the 
location of the motorcycle. Consider the sound a 
motorcycle's exhaust is emitting from the tailpipe at 
the rear of the machine.
Whether or not you have modified your exhaust, other 
drivers will see you wearing your 
Motorcycle Armor Leather Jackets.

• A Physics Lesson
• Sound travels at what speed?
• In ideal conditions, at sea level, 70 degrees F (21C), 
atmospheric conditions normal, the speed of sound is 
770 mph (1238km/h). Altitude, temperature, and terrain 
will alter the speed of sound, but that is something to 
reference.
• Now consider the Doppler effect of sound:
• "As a motorcycle speeds forward, the frequency (and 
pitch) of the sound waves in front of the bike becomes 
higher, and the frequency (and pitch) of the sound waves 
behind it.“
• How easy is it for a driver in a car to hear the exhaust 
sound when the driver is about 60 feet ahead of the 
sound?
• No brainer, right?
• You will not create the Doppler Effect when drivers see 
you wearing Men Motorcycle Leather Racing Jackets.
• Why Aren’t The Loud Pipe Enforced?
• All the traffic on the street is waiting at a red traffic light, and 
a big bike rolls up and revs the pipes several times. Annoying 
isn’t it, but, you know where the motorcycle is, don’t you?
• Most replaced or modified motorcycle exhaust systems are 
emitting decibels that are illegal. Somewhere around 70% of 
motorcycle owners replace or modify their factory-installed 
exhaust systems.
• They want to be heard, and that is a noise hazard for others 
on the road as well as the neighborhoods they ride through.
Here is a quote from a state’s definition of 
muffler requirements:
• Every motor vehicle shall, at all times, be equipped with 
a factory-installed muffler or one duplicating factory 
specifications, in good working order and in constant 
operation, to prevent excessive or unusual noise and 
annoying smoke.
• There is no mention of the decibel level that is 
considered legal to avoid a noise complaint. Most states 
only define the factory-installed muffler requirements, 
not the noise level.
• The decibel level enforcement is often left up to the local 
jurisdictions. There must first be a complaint describing 
the annoyance level of the noise to enforce noise 
violations.
• You will undoubtedly sound off fashionably while riding 
wearing your Men Leather Motorcycle Pants.
• The Tail Pipe
• It is not that loud pipes save lives, in some rare occasions 
they might, the real secret to survival is to be seen and 
using the bike's horn. Some horns are not up to the task; 
there are modified horns on the aftermarket that will 
work very well.
• The other riding defense is to ride as though 
the other driver does not see you. Your safety 
on the highway while operating a motorcycle 
is mostly your responsibility, not that of the 
other driver.
