Exhaust question...
 

Why is it that motorcycles can be loud as hell, but cars get nailed on dB levels etc?

I really can't stand how obnoxiously loud motorcycles can be...

I got straight drags with no baffles on my bike. Louder bike means killer cars will notice me more

But is that legal for you to have it loud? Or do cops/DMV just not care?

there is a legal limit for bikes !!! the cops do have a decimal meter to check this but they don't enforce it cause alot of them do ride themselves. about 2 yrs. ago they did have a lil enforcement they were doing required by the state but then it just faded away.
also most guys with real loud pipes go to private inspection or swap the baffles in for dmv

It's annoying isn't it?

Yea, just asking cause there was a parade locally and the stupid bikers were doing laps around the area.... so loud.

stop whining.

He's right. The cops are constantly harassing cars for their exhausts while the white trash bikers can ride around at all hours of the night waking people up. That's the way it is around here anyway.

Yuuup. Pretty much.

i know and i agree, he just always does that to me :lol:

LOL.

Its just annoying.

I mean, I can't say much... my car (when it runs) is quite loud.

So now are you the one whining? ;):moon:

If you can't beat em, join em.

:)

:rofl:

I want open headers with sidepipes now. Just watched American graffiti.

bikes are low visible vehicles, they can be in blind spots and very easily get mowed over by distracted motorists....hence the loudness of the motorcycle is to make it more noticeable

Oh please...is that the justification? Then the Hon-duh cruisers shouldn't be on the road...their more quiet than a Prius lol

Aha.... sure.


Really?

bikes are B A. you aren't :lol:

Just slap a harley sticker on your car, problem solved!

Of course he's not this guy. There can be only one B.A.

Loud motorcycles are extremely obnoxious and I always wondered why they don't do something about it because there are a lot more on the road now compared to 10 years ago. I saw in the paper where New Hope PA is going to try cut down on the motorcycle noise. It will be interesting to see how that goes over since the town is invaded pretty much every weekend with loud bikes.

Yeah, they've been talking about that for years. I doubt anything meaningful will happen. At the end of the day money talks and the ******** walks. Those bikers bring a TON of $$$ into that area.
