Gotta love California....🏁🏁

This entire discussion is a moot point. LE in mexifornia whether state, county or city are all lacking the funds and manpower to address loud exhaust. Boom boxes and the loud thump thump irritating noises they produce are over ridden by the necessity to respond to crimes of a greater nature. Vehicle accidents, assaults, domestic violence, shootings and home invasions are constantly ongoing and require a higher degree of attention than an irritating noise ordnance. Wish it were not so, but that's the way it is.

I think the politicians are afraid to go after those that are at the root cause of many of those problems, ca. criminals vote

Since I was 25 Ive had stock exhaust on everything - no need for noise, I like it quite.

Past 12 years I wear hearing protection at work so I'm very sensitive and enjoy normal exhaust.

i agree and it seems to be a requirement if you own a Harley to make them stupidly loud I hate it it's not necessary

Could never understand the loud equals fun mentality.

The law is causing other problems. We now have a number of Corvette owners in CA with factory exhaust that have gotten tickets. yes they will eventually get overturned but CA needs to be liable for the costs of criminal defense to get it corrected. The law is too vague and is outlawing vehicles that are certified for sale in CA. Its quickly becoming unenforceable and likely to get overturned in its entirety by the courts.

To get a noise violation ticket issued in NYC I needed a certified public official conduct a meter "reading".
I needed this for both motor vehicles and out of control private parties.
I was able to do this ZERO amount of times in my 20 years because a certified meter and reader were never available.
Apartment parties and not loud "drag" pipes were the most 911 called noise complaint.
All states and even townships are different....just look at the helmet laws.
