Perhaphs you misunderstood my posts.
I am NOT looking for a really loud pipe.
I am looking for one who can replace my current pipe because the baffles have been removed and I was afraid this might damage the engine.
Regarding noise, I plan to gain some experience around the city b4 going for some ear mufflers for longer rides at least.

I don't think I misunderstood at all. I meant to to reassure you that having no baffles won't damage your engine:
Removing the baffles or packing won't damage the engine in the least.
Perhaps you misunderstood me?

Please allow me to remind you that you started out by saying that loud pipes damage hearing, I was merely pointing out that I wasn't looking for a loud pipe.

Alright then, you may remind me!
I was using an English turn of phrase to illustrate that the loud exhaust won't damage your engine. You've totally got the wrong end of the stick! I could just as easily have written:
A loud exhaust might frighten small wildlife, but it won't damage your engine.
That doesn't mean that I think you shouldn't ride your bike in case you startle a squirrel.

Yeah well... The police recently decided to enforce a law in my country that prohibits anything producing over 40 Db from roaming the streets during night time.
And I can guarantee mine does. I hope they don't really stop and "ask" me about it.

Get yerself a plate and stick it on. If you get any grief just say that's how you bought it and plead ignorance

Also use some quick gear shifts to get the revs down when approaching any squad cars.
