This great state I live in.. *sarcasm*

Welcome to my world. In Virginia (now get this -not all of Virginia - only Northern Virginia) you cannot modify an exhaust system from the original design nor can you even replace a component of an exhaust system unless it has failed. Luckily most Inspectors are cool. Some inspectors are a$$holes and failed my wife's 2000 Stang with borla side exhaust. I keep a picture of the Cobra R (factory side exhaust) to show it was an option. I am not certain what years are effected by this legislation (I think antique autos are exempt). Sux either way. It does not seem to bother the Exahust shops cause they will still do the work they just tell you that you can be in for a big suprise whan instpection time comes or the Cops pull you over and do a decible test.
 
That really sucks. What happened to this country being the land of the free? Thank god I'm in Nebraska were there is no emissions testings or anything.
 
I don't know how it is where you live, but in South Bend, Indiana................they need to worry much more about the damn car stereos, then the exhausts. I could never hear their exhaust if it were missing both mufflers with the damn stereos around here. Maybe they should enact a law that prevents buying a stereo over 50 watts. (not to dis you stereo guys, but turn the damn things down in residential areas).

And Harleys.....................well, I guess they are gonna have to just ban them all together.
 
Why do you say they should ban Harleys ?. If it wasn't for the price I would own a Harley right now!!!!!!!!!

At least the drag pipes. They are loud. There is a fella on a bike that likes to cruise through my neighborhood and rap his pipes on my block. The two level homes offer a good echo chamber. Amazingly enough, he doesn't like it when I drop the exhaust off of my truck and do some "shake down runs" in front of his house.

I love bikes, especially Harleys, but when a bike with straight pipes is blasting by my house at midnight, it gets annoying.
