The law says an exhaust system may not be modified with the intent to make it louder. The upcoming change leaves out the "intent" part and says the exhaust may not be modified if the result is amplification or noise that is louder than the muffler originally installed on the vehicle.

 

If they don't go after the bass thumping cars, the hot rods, big trucks/Jeeps and the tuners then it's unjust.

 

I looked at the AMA website and a lot of states already have these laws. Sooner or later when the LEO's get enough complaints of pipes revving by there house they start enforcing these laws more often.

 

There is a federal decibel limit that can be requested as to the legality of 'noisy exhaust', does not have to be OEM for the muffler just within fed levels.

Any of the LEOs drop paper on me I will challenge. Missouri tried that some years back, they tried to hit cycles without justifiably citing cagers as well and lost a bunch of those cases in court to discriminatory conduct.

 

There is a speed limit law too, I have seen the little signs with numbers on them.
They never affect the speed I am going and I am sure a db sign will not affect the sound of my bike.

They are going to get some of my money some how so I aint letting it kill my joy.

 

Thanks for the site. It may come in handly.

 

so the motor units in my city will have to give themselves tickets first as all the motorcycle cops have modified the exhaust to make them louder. LOL

 

I stopped by my local dealer the other day and one of the motor officers had just picked up his city issued motorcycle, and when he started it up, I was amazed at the noise level, looked over, and there were Vance and Hines pipes installed on the bike! My tax dollars hard at work...

 

How about those lawn mowers, leaf blowers and weed eaters!!!!!! How's that sound at 8:00 am Saturday and Sunday in most neighborhoods????????

 

Maybe we should all start checking car numbers or tag number when they blow by us on the highway at 75 + miles per hour going no where. If they get enough of these phone calls they will back off because they are not that hard to see when riding everyday.
