Yep cutouts...you can rupture peoples ear drums when you need to and then switch over to moderately loud. And do try and get a cam, can't hurt

The solution is actually pretty simple...

1. Add a hitch and small trailer with a chair bolted to it.

2. Strap yourself in to said trailer chair.

3. Offer people walking by to drive your car to places you need to go.

4.A. Enjoy your very loud setup from outside your car while still getting to the places you need to go.

4.B. When it gets too loud for you, get back in the car and sell trailer/chair to next guy who posts a similar thread

I have a big cam, LG longtubes X-pipe, no cats and B&B Bullets!! It is LOUD!!!! It is so much fun if you are just cruising and having a good time but on road trips.....earplugs or your ears will be ringing and muffled big time when you get where you are going. I love it and hate it at the same time!!

I show up around 10p now since it's too packed before then. But around 10 spaces open up and the more reckless "oldies" leave. Ironic that the older guys are the ones that drive stupid in the parking lot there. Kind of makes me laugh thinking about when us younger guys (20s-30s) shake our heads at these guys when they do dumb stuff. But they're usually out by about 10:30. We stay until about 11:30-12 and then go over to Coral Cafe. You're welcome to join us.
