I received this email from SEMA re: the NY exhaust law. I don't know it their info is accurate or not but there is a link to more info if you're interested.

FULL DETAILS Fact vs. Fiction: New York Exhaust Noise Law
Last year, the New York legislature passed a bill aiming to crack down on excessively loud vehicles. Unfortunately, vague local news reporting has created confusion amongst enthusiasts about what the law does. With the law taking effect on April 1, the SEMA Action Network (SAN) is here to answer your burning questions.

Want More Information?

The SAN has created a “Fact vs. Fiction” webpage that seeks to clarify the matter:

I did look into that site and it really does not talk anything about motorcycles this is all being aimed at automobiles, cars and trucks. I'm going to have to dig some more to see just how they are wording the new inspection criteria for motorcycles in New York state. What I did get out of that article is that there are nine states trying to decrease illegal modifications to exhaust systems... Again cars and trucks nothing mentioned about motorcycles yet..

I found this https://dmv.ny.gov/forms/cr79.pdf which is the NYS Motor Vehicle Inspection Regulation from January 2017 (before the new law). If you read page 93 pertaining to motorcycle exhaust systems it says Reject if not equipped with an adequate exhaust system and muffler to prevent excessive noise OR equipped with a replacement exhaust system or components that are not equivalent to the original. I don't see any decibel value.

The senate version of the bill https://legislation.nysenate.gov/pdf/bills/2021/S784B also doesn't have a decibel limit. I can't find the actual law as signed.

This info seems to agree with SEMA re: a decibel limit.

In the SEMA article it stated that the max decibel level was originally set at 60 db.. Well guess what based on that level most all car's and trucks would fail and that's why it was removed from the law.. Currently there is no mention of what level it needs to meet.. According to Commissioner NYS DMV he incorporated the term max decibel level to their statement to inspection stations as a scare tactic.. It was never incorporated in the original law.. There's a lot of bullshit scare tactics going on right now that is not law... Still researching....
