You really don't want to hear that engine at anything less than 50 yards unless you have some good ear protection. The Sportster with its long muffler is a completely different story.

Ya want loud, OMG loud? I fire up my ST 3000 with out a muffler. HOLY CRAP MAN! Also did the same with my OS .60 rear exhaust engine, just for giggles. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES. But nothing compares to being 20 feet away from the barrel of a navy 5"54 blasting out rounds. It feels like your body compresses. I was wearing double ear protection.
