I was at a charity ride last weekend and noticed all the state (Connecticut) motorcycles had slip-ons. I asked one of the officers how they can write tickets for loud exhaust when they themselves are in violation. He said that unless you are bring attention to yourself purposely they won't, or there are complaints. They like the louder pipes too and don't care for the noise ordinance law.

Coming to a town near you. Afraid within the next few years we'll all be in the same boat. Loud pipes will be a thing of the past.

Steel wool is the ticket.....people do it all the time in Japan for the inspections, it works and you can easily pull it out after the inspection......

Just curious, where are you located? I have heard of noise ordinances and threats to strictly enforce them in Denver, but no anywhere else yet. Just wondering if this nnoise thing is spreading.

The EPA in Oz are a bunch of c*cksuckers and a law unto themselves! I got a SMOKEY EXHAUST defect in the mail for a car with a BRAND NEW motor which didn't even get taken off the trailer or started back in 1999 in Canberra! They just write down your number plate and VOILA!!... a defect that you can only get off if you pretty much return the vehicle to factory spec!

Good news is that the car they defected was a VN Group A (one of the rarest muscle cars in Oz) and so has remained unregistered (after they cancelled the rego twice) for the last 8 years and is already worth double what it was back then :)... too bad if I did wanna drive it though, would have to take off the intercooler and supercharger and put it back to Original condition.

Basically, you are pretty much gonna have to put the stock pipes on, get the defect off and then put it back on. You probably rode past some cops who wrote your plate down. Next time you see a bunch doing it lean back and cover the plate with your hand :)

Noise pollution is bs but it is coming to everyones town and village so better get ready for it.

I don't think loud pipes will themselves be a thing of the past. But being a d1ckhe@d and rapping them at intersections, winding them out on the road, etc will be. That ends up being a good thing We could use some enforcement for those a$$holes. The negative reputation/perception they give to all motorcycle riders is as bad as the ninja-turtle guys doing wheelies down the highway and going 160 through your neighborhood.

You would think there are enough bikers today,to offset the epa's allowances!
