Default Louder pipes save lives and noise is required by law...!!

"Hybrid vehicles may pose a deadly threat to people who rely on their hearing to navigate streets and crosswalks. The National Federation of the Blind is calling for hybrid manufacturers to make their cars sound like traditional car engines, so that blind people can hear them coming."

totally support that initiative - it's been studied by government agencies in California now - next step: get back to the traditional sound of our pipes and how they're supposed to sound (certainly not like a sewing machine)....

I'm buying a Toyota Prius, moving to Denver, installing external speakers, and running Harley exhaust sounds.

Loud pipes save blind people's lives.

Too loud is bad. Too quiet is bad. Someone please kill the politically correct police before we need to have permission to fart. [sm=shootshoot.gif]

It's at the point where I almost consider our whole government a joke.

A really, really bad joke.

Maybe Toyota will offer the Prius with Screaming Eagle exhaust.
