I think it's much more rudimentary than everything you guys are making it out to be... If we pretend that the cops on the beat are just decendents of neo-classical caveman types who notice the biggest, brightest, loudest things out there (as a way of staying alive) and then fast-forward 500,000 years to the point that the previous threats are gone, but the instincts are still there, all you've done is awake some primeval instinct to survive (fight or flight -- and cops are trained against flight response). Effectively your pipe is yelling "hey, here I come!" from some great distance away, like a Sabertooth tiger crashing through the forest in search of a mate during rutting season...
A quiet pipe, a subdued car or bike, can often cover more miles quicker and with far less hassles than a bright, loud vehicle. Drive a stock pearl-white audi with no tint at significantly illegal speeds, then repeat 10% slower (but still above the limit) with a bright red firebird with an aftermarket exhaust and see which one gets ticketed more...

Can anyone answer THE question? Do I need to find a stock 600 exhaust or will the 750 exhaust work equally as well??Ride like your life depends on it.
