I think a flashing siren mounted directly on top of the helmet would save more lives.
I HATE loud pipes.
I remember when my little girl was born, we would be up all night, several nights a week with her crying, etc.
When she would finally settle down, my wife and I would try to get a little sleep only to be awaken by my father (RUB- who lived down the road) and his a-hole buddies running wide open pipes through our neighborhood as if they were gracing us with their obnoxiousness.
