Hmm.. do they do this on their OWN, or with a little help, John?

The mufflers on my mom's '84 HD Sportster have this great quality.. if 
one accidentally jams a broomstick handle inside, they get a lot louder.. 
funny how that kind of thing happens.. 

Actually, she just informed me she has a set of full-on drag-pipes on the 
way.. Now how's *that* for a mom?

(And she loves the glasspacks on the '77.. but bemoans that it just 
doesn't bark like a V8..)
