Two good questions.
With the baffles in, the pipes are pretty sedate. Just a little throatier. WickedWebby came over the other night to check them out and I had no concern starting the bike at 10:30 pm so he could listen. I'm a good neighbor and we live in the city.
A former FJR owner was over last night, with his ST3, and he loved the pipes but hated the logo. On the Titanium cans the logo is riveted, on the alu I think it is embossed. I'll talk to MaxMoto today and find out about removing the logo - if they haven't left for MotoGP.
Sorry to hear WFO is not in the cards for you. Since it seems people are getting excited, Remus is going to ship some of their PowerCone pipes as well - more choices for folks.
