What are Canadian sound legal spec for exhaust???
Who knows the sound legel spec for Canada? I know in the US its nothing over 95db.
Does anyone know it for Canada?
Does anyone know it for Canada?
The HTA ruling for this is vague, no mention of specific numbers. Its basically up to the officer's discretion, but its a secondary offense like illegal tint (unless its really obnoxious) and they won't pull you for it unless they have something else on you.
This is from the Ontario Highway Traffic Act
-------
Muffler
75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle.
Idem
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a motor assisted bicycle with an attached motor that is driven by electricity.
Fumes from engine
(3) The engine and power mechanism of every motor vehicle shall be so equipped and adjusted as to prevent the escape of excessive fumes or smoke.
Unnecessary noise
(4) A person having the control or charge of a motor vehicle shall not sound any bell, horn or other signalling device so as to make an unreasonable noise, and a driver of any motor vehicle shall not permit any unreasonable amount of smoke to escape from the motor vehicle, nor shall the driver at any time cause the motor vehicle to make any unnecessary noise, but this subsection does not apply to a motor vehicle of a municipal fire department while proceeding to a fire or answering a fire alarm call.

Not really clear. I bet if you call your local police station they wouldn't even know
