Do you not realize that the loud exhaust on most motorcycle is also a safety issue.

i didn't read the posts but there is NO legal limit for db's on an exhaust. it's called PROFILING. when i take my '67 ford galaxie 500 (2.5 in dual exhaust straight pipes) they never pull me over. i know the car is before the new emissions laws but they stop me all the time in my '92 integra with 2.25 in pipe with silencer, resonator, and muffler i get ticketed. bikes, jets, most trucks with straight pipes, and my other car (the galaxie) is louder than the integra. i just deal with it.

93 dB is too fucking loud!!! dude that not good for your hearing. 93 dB is a little under the noise a jackhammer gives off. I guess if you wear ear plugs or noise cancelling (sp) headphone, thats not healthy you can cause permanet hearing loss.

It's 93dB outside the car, not inside the car.

If the cop wants to be a dick, he can take your registration and plates.

But that's still pretty bad, he is gonna get pulled over for sure. It all depends on what he wants to do.
