Heh … nope. They pay the dealer $500 for a “drag exhaust” option. Which is a mechanic, a railway spike and a sledge hammer. Couple whacks to break the welds in the baffling, back the bike up to a wall and rev it till its done spitting bits out.
But again, motorcycles have gotten clemency because enough people, many of them lawyers themselves, fought hard for it. They were able to prove that a loud exhaust saves lives. Too bad you won’t get the same treatment in a car.
A bunch of kids complaining that their unnecessarily loud cars are being picked on isn’t quite as graphic as “you’re killing motorcyclists with your law”.
Realistically, 90% of the exhausts you hear out there are on cars that are not in any way benefiting from a 3" straight exhaust.
How you drive your car is a huge factor. If you feel the need to wind the motor up to redline in every gear, shift badly, pretend you understand why people double clutch, you’re gonna get pulled over.
Is it really that hard to grow up a bit and run a quiet exhaust?
