Harley's don't have straight through mufflers, they have straight pipes with no muffler or resonators at all...
Sounds like you're confusing 'straight pipe' with 'straight through muffler' theres a BIG difference in sound, since most straight through mufflers have a good amount of glass packing to absorb sound.
For the record, I drove my car around the block with no muffler at all(when I was changing mufflers) and it was nowhere near as loud as a harley, the cat muffles a bit, and the extra length of piping dampens the noise quite a bit.

ok i'll make this simpler for you: the SRT4 is legal, as is my straight thru glasspacked muffler. Source: the OPP AND the people who legalized the SRT.
my buddie's 72 nova with the baffles cut out is illegal.
harely straight pipes ( more often referred to as 50/50s ) are illegal.
there is no difference between a straightpipe and a muffler with the baffles cut out- its just wider diameter piping as far as sound is concerned.
now, I quit. call the OPP if you still dont understand something.
