I have ridden in Cobras where the pipes gave me a headache. No, I don't want to wear ear plugs either. But, I've also seen, and heard, Cobras (invariably SBF equipped Cobras) that were as quiet as my daughter's Camry. I wouldn't want that either. Between the two, I'd rather have the headache. But, my QT pipes are really just right; not too loud, but not too soft.
