I hear these guys...usually after they pass me. If you want loud pipes to be cool knock yourself out.
Sigh. I'm too old to worry about being cool.

Edit:

Anyone nearly run over on a sidewalk by an eScooter (that should be on the actual road anyway) knows noise matters. I'm not saying that to advocate for loud straight pipes. I'm saying that because in this day and age of inattentive (or attention-diverted) vehicle operators that spans nearly all types of wheeled this-and-that, noise is one of the few things that keeps you and others from getting hurt. I pay attention, and I still nearly get run over, all the time.
