Got hassled about my exhaust...

[Meeyatch1]

There are noise level bi-laws, etc. and you aren't supposed to modify your stock exhaust. Listen to one Harley and it makes all the NSXs in the world seem like caddies!...

EXACTLY!! I have never understood how Harleys can be so terribly loud and it is okay, but a car cannot be half as loud without getting a disturbing the peace type of ticket. Noise is noise!! Why should a Harley be exempt?

By the way...my Taitec JGTC Parallel is loud when I need it to be, and I like it that way. :wink:

 

[lithiumus]

I'm with you Mitch. A Harley fired up one morning 4-5 doors down on a Saturday morning and it sounded like an exploding transformer and literally shook the house. I went ouside thinking a tree came down or something only to see a guy on a Harley... geez.

I like my NSX nice and loud as well but it's nowhere near as loud and obnoxious as a Harley. I've got an ARC Ti with Taitec Test pipes and if I keep the RPM at 4k+, it can be VERY obnoxious, but I don't do that on residential back streets...

As the saying goes.......if we had to explain you wouldn't understand! After all it's just a bike!

 

[Sze Chi]

Now I am thinking of swaping my test pipe back to a cat. since I have it set up with the ARC Ti. I just want to enjoy my car without any hassle from cops or anyone.

I knew you would chime in! LOL!!

I am saying that in the terms of noise and bothering the neighborhood, noise is noise. If someone wants to say my car bothers the peace, but a Harley twice as loud is fine, that just does not make sense. The experience of the riding a Harley is something totally different.

 

[GECKO]

Harleys (not all) are GOOD noise, something different then just noise. Riding one is a different subject altogether, but I'm told this is a car - no NSX forum, so we won't go there. In fact it's so nice out right now I'm going for a ride and make noise

Just FYI I have a Tubi on my 3.2 with cats and standard intake. We had a little meet at the weekend and tested our new NSXCB sound meter. At 6,000 RPM mine was 92db's. That was the same as a standard car without the cats and 1db more than a stock '91 3.0! Cheers, Matt.

I'll take that ARc Ti off your hands if you think it's too loud.

I'm 23 with tinted windows, loud exhaust, black Volks and a red NSX. I don't give a shit if the cops pull me over, they can't do anything about it. (Except the tint, I guess)

I don't get why you guys are so "afraid" of the police pulling you over... Have the laws in Ontario got that Draconian?

 

[Oyagi]

Its gotten quite Draconian here.

Might be an age thing too. I didn't give two shits when I was 23. Now I do. :tongue:

 

[BigYellowMan]

It is not the laws. It is the people making the laws. :tongue:

I can't believe I pay for their services.

Two thoughts:
1) Officer the little box is active noise cancelling - its new technology - you should have heard it BEFORE:biggrin: :tongue:

2) Isn't your muffler tip too far inside your rear valiance? It seems like you're directing a lot of heat at plastic?

This is good information thanks!

 

[prova4re]

I got a $195.00 ticket for my Tubi, the cop said it was to loud. I said its stock then he looks under the car and reads the tag on it that says for compation use.

 

[Arshad]

Hahahah... Brian, I didn't realize you were still trolling these forums

What are you driving these days anyways?

 

[nsxot1c]

I've had my car, with the exhaust on it for over 3 years now and finally a few months back I was pulled over and harrassed for the exhaust. I told him I had "purchased" the car with that exhaust on there and that its a high end sports car so it's hard to necessarily keep it quiet

Is that compation as in Compassionate, like you were being nice to your neighbors?:biggrin:

Or compation like competition that you lost, like a spelling bee?


BTW - now that Mitch is an honorary Canadian the gloves are off, my brother!:wink:

"just when I thought I was out.....they drag me back in"

Tomato tomoto its all the same to me.

Arshad, how are you my friend?
I am not driving anything these days, the freaking US dollar is just killing me right now. Nothing worse than working in the US and living in Canada.

Speaking of living like a poor dog, where the hell is Beeyootch at?

yes , it is my ingenious plan to destroy the pre-02 rear valence,thus leaving one with no other alterative but to purchase an 02-style one!!!(and a polished exhaust tip)

Hey dude, its cool to be outa the closet, I respect your bravery, and although I couldn't contemplate smokin' a pirate I certainly won't criticize you for your sexuality - besides you can get legally married in Canada now.:smile:

Tomato tomoto its all the same to me.

Thats what I'm saying, I don't care where you wanna put your cucumber!:wink:

Arshad, how are you my friend?

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but he's married with three kids!:redface:

I'm sorry, you'll find that special someone, just give it time!:smile:

the freaking US dollar is just killing me right now. Nothing worse than working in the US and living in Canada.

Living in Canada, a more tolerant society, makes sense for a guy with your proclivities, I understand, its probably worth the exchange rate to have sexual freedom - don't beat yourself up (or off):wink:

Married and bought a new house, sorry, the field narrows yet again!:frown:
