    Intentionally loud exhausts are obnoxious and selfish. As much as I dislike it, however, I’d far rather deal with the noise than having yet more surveillance. We’re already the #3 most surveilled country in the world, only the USA and China is worse.

      Harley Davidson bikes are just noise pollution. Unlike cars they are build like this out of the factory.

        Yea to me it’s not the volume of the engine/exhaust. It’s that it’s intentionally obnoxious

    Most motorists? Why is it only people who enjoy motoring that get a say in this? What about the rest of us?

    I don’t drive and I want them to crack down on those loud as feck vehicles, especially the dirt bike races they have regularly.

    Loud as feckin hell.

      Car brain headline / premise. Of course only the opinion of motorists is actually valid, you poor jaywalking peasant!

      I think the point is to show that even amongst their peers, people who love loud pipes are a minority that the majority would gladly see being stopped.

      I agree now but I once was young and had a loud pipe on my truck and on my motorcycle (always with a catalytic converter though!), I think it’s just a natural phase in the car person’s evolution… Then you’ve got a bunch of Harley riders and Dodge Ram drivers that never grow past that phase…
