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??

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.

Exactly what I've been wonderin. Those harleys are like 50 times louder than my exhaust, and i've never seen one of them pulled over.

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.

Moto cops drive harley's........maybe they are just partial to them. lol

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.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE HARLEYS!!!!!!!! they are damn louder than us. Why do you ticket us for exhaust and not hogs?

 
Rep Power: 373

we do. trust me, straight pipes are illegal. so theres your answer. i am speaking for my jurisdiction by the way.

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: 373

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.

Maybe with the new Biker Boyz movie coming out it will throw all the pressure on the crotch rocket riders instead of us.

Cross your fingers!

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?

 
Rep Power: 413

I can't beleive that you just tried to justify automotive profiling.[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

ok but still dude
they pull us over for a loud exhaust
they odnt pull motorcycles over for one
if they can make our exhausts quieter then they can make a motorcycles exhaust quieter
still i dont care if ones suppose to be loud ok so basically ur sayin
ok well a motorcycle can go blazing down the street with straight pipes and not get a ticket but a car cant go down a street cuz its exhaust isnt suppose to be loud

Actually I was just stating a fact. Nowhere in my post did it say that was the reason why police pull over cars for annoying exhausts. Chill out... it's a no-brainer that people win cars with loud exhausts do get harrassed for it and even some bikes have ear shattering exhausts. But if you ask me, IMO I would have less of a problem with a bike with a loud exhaust than a car because:

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.

imo the exaust is a bunch of crap anyway why have any noise restriction at all, and im venting but motorcycles should all be outlawed, so dangerous, nothing to protect the driver, so i say screw all motorcycles, kill them all, ha im just rambling but thats my opinion[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]





and one more thing not to all cops injen, but the ones that pick on imports
THEY ALL SHOULD DIE!!!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

Actually, according to statistics, motorcycle drivers are the safest drivers on the road. They know that if they get in an accident that its their life that will be ended. Thus they drive safer than we do.

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.

Nah, **** like that is just harrassment but I remember someone here getting pulled over for a ticket and then when he starts his car the cop yells at him "STOP! YOU'VE GOT A MODIFIED EXHAUST!" I think that guy was from Cali. Not sure. But I dunno what you're basing your opinion on. If you ask me, if you have a noticable car and you make yourself noticable on the road around the city you reside - you've just given up your freedom.

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....

I live in NJ and someone told me tha replacing your cat is illegal. Does anyone know if this is true? What kind of exhaust do you guys suggest. Something that is not too loud so I wont get pulled over all the time.
