I get people's attention by using my 6 Hella horns on my Subaru, or by using my cop PA on one of my Miatas, the other Miata has 2 Hellas AND loud exhaust :)
My Honda dual-sport and gold wing are both very quiet though I am looking for a place to wedge a cop PA on the 'wing.

Thing is, not all people swap out to loud exhausts, so loud ones will always stand out. I'll take every little additional safety margin when the driver next to me decides they want my lane. But it's true, the main reason I bought my performance Ducati exhaust was to better hear that wonderful Ducati V-Twin sound. I also prefer to blip to throttle to prod people's attention at a just turned green light vs. hitting the bleep bleep horn. People used to say that daytime running lights wouldn't be any safer when all cars have them. I disagree. Anything that makes you stand out more is gonna help.
