That's not true.



NY says that if your exhaust is any louder than stock, then it's illegal.

If its loud enough to get the attention of a cop, then its too loud. I know mine's too loud, even for Virginia, but the only time I get on it is at the strip or out in the middle of nowhere. If I'm in town, I'm babying it.

that is not true though...





there are statewide dB laws for the volume of exhaust





let me find the link i have it bookmarked





if its loud enough to get teh attention of the cop, that means nothing, stock cars are loud enough to get the attn.... HD bikes are loud enough for attn. .... etc.





plus if that was true then one would assume that every cop has a trained ear for the note of an exhaust, and that each cops ears are the same



theres specific laws, not "oh thats loud isnt it eh?....okay cool lets pull him over"

Kalifornia uses 95db between a certain decibal range. Not under load either, I think.

I know some DSM owners in Maryland that have gotten tickets just for having aftermarket exhausts. They weren't speeding, but yet got followed and then pulled over for a ticket. Go figure that one. Maryland has some strict laws. You can even get a ticket for a lowered suspension here.



Should cops pick on people with aftermarket exhausts? Probably not. But they do at times, and they are the law. I find things go better when you stay on the cop's nice side.
