Meanwhile I’m getting pulled over multiple times for my loud exhaust because my muffler fell off and I don’t have the money to fix it.
Then the cop pulling me over has to stop talking as a motorcycle drives by so loud he can’t even hear himself.
Compared to straight pipe, you would have a short pipe. Being so much closer to the engine, you’d get more noise. Even straight pipe dampens the noise a bit.
That’s because the law wasn’t made because rich assholes, but because broken exhausts, wether by design or by negligence, are a god damn nuisance.
And yet the people who’s cars are loud by design are largely ignored because fuck the poor.
“Hey I see your muffler is broken”
“Yeah I don’t have the money to fix it”
“Well now you’ll have even less money, here’s your $150 ticket”
A broken muffler sounds A LOT worse than a purposely thought out muffler delete
Yes yes, we’re all aware that something that inconveniences you for all of 5 seconds is worse than someone living at an income low enough to not allow them to fix a non essential part of their only source of transportation.
Or you can just choose to not use car.
In Germany its usually the fast cars that get pulled over for being too loud, my exhaust pipe on my old car was completely rusted through and I drove through a police check where they pull everyone over.
They didnt say anything regarding the exhaust.
I replaced it before the next inspection, because I would have never passed with it rusted through.
at least in Germany there is an inspection…
