Hey guys/gals:
I'm in NYC. Now, my brother got a $30 ticket for exhaust tip being to big. Is there such a law? My brother has about a 3 and half or 4 inch tip. How about too many decibals? Thanks!

damn, that sucks @$$!. I just saw a long news report on NY1 today, about how they are cracking down on street racing, lol. Anyway, can anyone find some specifics on these? Like, how loud an exhaust could be, or how big the tip can be? ****, if this applies to cars, this better fcukin apply to bikes too.

How do the cops deam it too loud? This sounds like something similar to butt dyno, just by ear. I heard in Cali they actually have decibal meters.

The cops in NYC will NEVER catch the ppl on bikes. The fastest cop cars you see in NYC is that POS Impala that drives slower than a stock Impala.

found this here http://www.nysorva.org/documents/vtl...e3Article9.htm

31. Mufflers and exhaust systems. Prevention of noise. Every motor
vehicle, operated or driven upon the highways of the state, shall at all
times be equipped with an adequate muffler and exhaust system in
constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or
unusual noise and no such muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped
with a cut-out, bypass, or similar device. No person shall modify the
muffler or exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will
amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor or exhaust system of
such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler or exhaust system
originally installed on the vehicle and such original muffler and
exhaust system shall comply with all the requirements of this section.

I know my HKS is low, but def not as low as stock. I hope they dont take this **** seriously. .

That law has been around for ages, I collected a lot of tickets on it!LOL Usually it can be beat,but costs more to fight than pay. Thats what they count on.Basicaly its the cops word against yours for loudness (like that word). Cops up my way use it as a FU tool,if you give them s#it orget away from them they use it next time! You city guys are prob in deep s#it cause of the racing crackdown! Its an easy write up and makes them look good!! The solution is to drive slowly and quitely like me!
