loud pipes
Motorcycle noise makers
Loud pipes refers to motorcycle exhaust systems modified or designed to produce a pronounced rumble or roar.
Enthusiasts often defend them with the slogan "loud pipes save lives," arguing the noise alerts drivers to a motorcycle's presence.
Critics consider them obnoxious noise pollution.
The phrase sometimes extends to any conspicuously loud vehicle exhaust: His truck has some seriously loud pipes.
