Coming down the street I was waiting to turn onto was a Harley, that I see a lot. It has really load pipes. The car in front of me pulled out in-front of him. It was close and the guy in the box (car) in front of me clearly didn't see or hear the Harley. He did hear his stock horn..... I'm not a fan of load pipes and in this instance they really didn't make a difference.
