I recall talking to a friend about mufflers and exhaust tuning. In his 2 stroke motorcycle racing days, they managed to get their bike to be dead quiet. To the point where you just heard resonance from the air cooling fins on the block. And with no power loss. Its all about how its done I suppose.

Plus, if its so loud you don't want to go WOT, then you in effect DO have powerloss.
