Rep Power: 0 Exhaust ticket??
Ok what I really don't get is why some cars with a loud exhaust get an exhaust ticket. I dont think its really fair. Why arent cops pulling over motorcycles like harleys and what not i mean those exhausts are alot louder than ours. My step dad for instance, hasa harley, loud *** exhaust not one ticket for oud exhaust so i just dont understand, why are we beign picked on??

Rep Power: 388 Cause cops see us with these big exhaust and immediatly think we are racing like in Fast and the Furious. They figure they better stop it before someone gets killed.
Damn that movie for ever being released. Now everyone is out to get streetracers. Maybe the 2nd one will make us seem like good guys.
Just dont' rev your engine around a cop.

Rep Power: 348 no not true its called a disturbance and a noice ordinance violation. Its probably a municipal law in any jurisdiction you go into. But i guess i wouldnt know since i work in the law enforcement field.

Rep Power: 340 The F&F argument is partially correct. But, the bigger part of it is that the laws vary for different vehicles. Trucks have much more leniant bumper safety regulations that cars, for example. It goes the same way with bike vs car exhaust. I don't know why the car is that way. I'd guess its more leniant because there is no real engine compartment for a motorcycle, so more sound is expected.

Rep Power: 388 Every year we've got biker week in Myrtle Beach and all the harleys come down to Charleston to visit. It's so loud and I don't see one cop pull them over.
I usually stand behind cops, because so many people rag on them, but this one i have to agree with JoeyTStyleS.

Rep Power: 348 well i have been to bikeweek many times, with that volume of bikers, which is 250,000 bikes alone its hard to pull everybody over. I believe you need to not stand behind them and ride along with them and realize how hard the job of police work really is. i understand where you all are coming from but its just hard to get EVERYBODY out there.

I mean heres an example my step dad and his friends leave my hosue and there is like 4 or 5 bikes leavin extremely loud exhaust and they are drivin around at like 10 or 11 and they are goin up and down the street any tickets?? nope any cops?? nope
my friend drives down a street not late at night maybe round 8 we are drivin we get pulled over gives us a loud exhaust ticket
Now how does this work the system is pretty fudged up
And about the fast and the furious thing
cops must be really stupid to take action on us for a movie that was well JUST A MOVIE!!!

Rep Power: 0 Actually it's because every kind of vehicle has different exhaust restrictions. You can't compare a Honda to a Harley. Think about it... which vehicle actually has a PURPOSE for being loud?

There are lesser bikes.
On roads, especially freeways I would hate for an unnoticable motorcycle to be in a hazzardous spot where I couldn't see him/her.

Rep Power: 307 around so cali.....a cop can just pull you over and give you a "modified exhaust" ticket instead of busting out a db reader and checking the noise level of it. Which is basically what most of my friends get, CROSSING FINGERS not to get one haha

It's illegal to have an aftermarket exhaust in Cali? I'm glad I don't live there. Cali seems to be the worst place to own a modified car.[hr]

I've been pulled over before with my old Skunk2 exhaust and wasn't ticketed for it (I actually got ticketed for having no front plate - and yeah that's a "Cali standard".)

and here in cali they just passed a law for performance/modified exhausts. it can't be louder than 95db. so for those that received tix for this, they can go to smog shops and get their exhausts tested, and if it falls under 95, the ticket will get thrown out, along with the fine. i don't know when this goes into effect tho....
