If you're on this cops **** list I would def. get something to quiet it down. I have a friend with a prelude with essentially straight pipes all the way back. He has gotten 4 or 5 loud exhaust tickets in the last 6 months and i believe 4 out of the 5 times it was the same cop! Although most cops hate rice alot more. Plus I think they have to be able to prove how loud it was.... Can I see your dB meter officer ?

I got pulled over for exhaust last year. I was talking to the cop about why bikes can have loud exhaust. He said so cars notice 'hear' the bikes and are aware of them. He also said they are suppose to ride with their headlight on at all times.

Just don't drive like an idiot in neighborhoods if you have loud exhaust.

That sucks. I don't know if I'm going to touch my exhaust yet though.

Just about every Harley is loud from the factory regardless of what kind of exhaust it has on it. I have also found myself startled more then once by these bikes while driving.

I say get an electric cutout so when they pull u over for loud exhaust you can open the cutout and say"No...THATS LOUD" Or vice versa hammer on it with it open and close it when they pull u over cuz thats funny
