this will be hard to ban I think.
Massachusetts is set to introduce a bill back into legislative review that would ban the sale or installation of any exhaust that falls under the following definition

I think New York already has a ban on loud aftermarket exhaust, I know a bunch of people who have gotten tickets for noise pollution due to the exhaust back since like 2001. :thumbsdown:

+1 back in the day my friend got pulled over and was getting a ticket for modified loud exhaust.. then a harley passed by and i asked the cop if the harley's exahaust was legal and within the sound decibles ect. he responded to say the harley isnt MODIFIED it was made that way so its legal... thats total BULL SH!t i dont agree with it.. if your trying to give tickets from noise it shouldnt matter wether mod or not.. but thats how the cookie crumbles
