    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”

      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.
