A-typical govt. overreach NY NANY STATE BS...
we really need some representation
'for the car crowd' in offices across the nation
many of them are car/motorcycle enthusiasts people too
SEMA should be lobbying that **** too or it will be their demise
I've owned/driven many modified cars, most had some sort of
modified exhaust too, most have had headers, bigger diameter pipes
some loud, some just a nice low tone,
some just headers with header mufflers & no tailpipes
since 1974, & motorcycles before that, minibikes or gocarts before that
everything had had modified exhaust, of some sorts
for some 48+ years, since I got my learners permit...
& I live in Calif.
I actually know a lot of LEOs that love cars too
that have modified cars/trucks & exhausts too
It's not all of them doing that lame BS
It's music to my ears
muscle/performance cars are supposed to be a lil' obnoxious,
that's the whole point, rebellion
(was org. the youth movement, now it's a bunch of old dudes too)
might as well own a damn Prius, if you don't like a lil' rumble exhaust tone
yeah they don't need to be deafeningly loud either
I reserve that for the track...
Many of them have noise statutes/rules now too...
Partially why I run tailpipes all the way out the rear of the car
even with 600+hp & 3" exhaust, & unless you're really on it hard,
it's not that loud... My Diesel Dually is far louder...
'even with Flowmasters' (I have no dreaded 'drone' either)...
but none as bad as the fart-can (tuners)
crapboxes/F&F type cars of today
or the 100dp 1,000+ watt stereos/bass boom boom nonsense, cRap
rattling everyone's windows, for a block or more away
That **** gets old fast
I have never gotten a ticket for 'too loud' or modified exhaust
gotten just about every other kind of ticket, until about 1985-ish
I've only gotten' 2 speeding tickets since too,
65 in a 55 going down a big *** hill
I didn't want to ride the damn brakes the whole way
(CHP was hiding in the medium, clocking people going down the steep grade)
I beat that ticket in court too, went to traffic school it was dropped...
& 45 in a 35 zones, I didn't know I was even doing 45,
I was going with the flow of traffic, I just paid the ticket...
seems like some people do the wrong **** at the wrong time
don't be stupid, 99% of the time nothing will happen to you
Happy MoParing
