The diesel folks here have added a collector filled with water to capture the particles. Less smoke, still smells kinda sweet/rank.

95db. Cops can carry decibel meters to check, but I have yet to hear of anyone ever being pulled over for loud pipes.

I'm switching my d&d to a 2inch rb pipe with no baffle this winter. California's most wanted I guess. 👍

Damn, I just ordered some slipons from Fuel Moto for my M8. Geez.
I know the M8s are not loud motors, especially at cruise, but I wonder if they could still fine you for aftermarket exhaust.

The modified exhaust laws are nothing new. I used to get pulled over on my rd400 in the eighties for modified exhaust. The only change in the law is you can't get it signed off as a fix it ticket..... cops are too busy to pull over for this stuff nowadays....... Now… if you get pulled for speeding or something.....they may tack it on.
