Hey guys,
after some of the replies from my "Got Pulled Over" thread, i was wondering....what is the max dB allowed for a motorcycle exhaust in southern CA. And, what level at what rpm are my black VH Short Shots at? Thanks in advance.

Here you go. I am running Short shots also, don't know what Db they are putting out. As with anything if you are an indiot then you will get pulled over. Since I have installed mine I have been beside several LEOs and they don't even look over at me, of course I am careful and not blipping the throttle either...

 

I have a DB meter in my garage. Take a ride over and we'll check it out. Here are the directions. Call me when you get close.

thanks for the info man. Wow, i'm assuming our short shots are way over the limit

 

Cool, Spyder. I"m on my way. Need me to pick up anything for you?

PS-is that a map of the US in the shape of a semi auto pistol? I like.

 

Was doing a search and cant seem to find the legal limit for Texas. Anyone know by any chance?

 

I don't know about your pipes, but here is a link to some info for the maximum allowable sound on road and off...

great info, thanks man

 

SteveinCA, you ever get a lot of backfiring with your short shots when decel?

 

I just installed the short shots on my Nightster, went with chrome shields. The first thing I did when installing them was to disconnect the battery to erase the computers memory. This way it could reprogram itself with the new pipes.

I also decided to install a set of torque cones to help with backpressure and helping the exhaust gases exit the pipes.

I have not had HD do the stage 1 download because I still have the stock aircleaner.

That being said, the engine has not backfired yet
