Even as a joke though.. think about it. If people (pedestrians) are taking actions that place them or others in danger because they didn't hear it coming, why can that same logic not apply to a car driver (changing lanes or whatever) and a biker with his overly quiet exhaust who "wasn't heard coming"? #loudpipesmatter

Unless its OBNOXIOUSLY loud, a modded pipe from a car or a bike wont be heard on highway or at speed until said bike is at the same height/passed said vehicle.
And with people playing music loud in their super surround sound system, with sound deadening in cars... even less likely to be heard even with loud pipes.
Anyways i ride like they cant see me or hear me (most likely true) and if they CAN see me, i imagine that theyre out to kill me.

working on my invention now
external speaker into a fake exhaust pipe to allow rider to stream different engine sounds
hmm working on generating the smell of a gas engine will be a tough one
There is something primal about a "nice" sounding engine.
fire up a muscle car and just listen to it, fire up a F1 car and listen to that....both at the other end of the sound spectrum however we tend to still appreciate their unique sounds
