You know what pisses me off more than people removing the CC? Guys who compensate for a small pee-pee with obnoxiously loud exhaust.

Oh yeah, and FWIW, I could give two shits if people remove the CC.

Plus one

But, people would bitch because the exhausts would cost more.

By the way, my bike is way old (2001), but because it was a CA bike it has catylitic converters, O2 sensor, PAIR valves, and charcoal cannister.

My bike doesn't have a cat. But, my pipe is race use only. So, mine is illegal as well.
