It is obviously an emotive subject! Getting rid of the stock muffler and going with a two chamber flowmaster 40 series to a turndown pipe removing the resonator I have an an increase of 7 bhp and 10lbft or torque. If gardening was massively loud ridiculous I know but as an example then Im sure you would have a problem with it when that person is out in the garden everyday. So they pass these aftermarket pipes. Try to describe the noise in as much detail as possible. Put reports in to 101. It restricts airflow in the exhaust causing it to quiet down.
As you said real enthusiast are nice folk who respect others and are actually very courteous on the road with very well maintained cars. I just find some peoples ignorance sickening and I get it all the time just because 2 of my cars happen to be stripped out with roll cages and look modified. It definitely needs sorting out. I put loud exhaust, not only to hear it but to also let people to watch for me on their side. These exhaust systems are major sources of noise pollution in The United States and Canada. I currently have a modified exhaust on my van. I know that Bury St Edmunds said in the newspaper recently that they had invested in one portable noise meter specifically for bikes.
Standard as factory-fitted and completely legal under Type Approval Legislation and mostly very quiet and causing no problem to anyone even in the early hours. Therefor warning people on how fast you are approaching and therefore helps judge speed so there is less likely that someone would walk out infront. I have no idea what it did to the sound power but it sounds louder due to the lower pitch than a stock exhaust but is not excessive anyway you look at it. You have not given us enough information. Jay, Sic, added just after a quoted word or phrase or a longer piece of text , indicates that the quoted words appear exactly as in the original source. Changing a number or letter or displaying a false number on your motorcycle is a serious offence, which is enforced by customs and excise.
I hate people shouting on the phone, can I ban them? Its simply the natural sound that comes out of an engine instead of the fake whispering noise a muffler causes. Section 151 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 basically states that if the driver has a certificate of motor insurance that has not expired; the insurer will deal with the third party claim. This country is getting ridiculous. Your comment sums up why it is a good idea to change the law. The time of day the drivers of these vehicles creates the regular schedule of these drivers.
Noise and exhaust gas regulations are making that a thing of the past, and most cars are very quiet these days, so leave the few of us that still love engines alone with our rare pleasures. Neglect of a police officer by ignoring an offense does not justify that act. The only way this will be accurate is under scientifically controlled conditions. They will only ever use your email address and send you a reference number for each vehicle you report for illegal mods and noise. Whilst I understand both sides of the argument, I find it so sad that our society has nothing better to do than complain. It might be low on fluid, so check that. I have had too many sleepless nights by the neighbours teenage daughter whom thinks its great to annoy everyone, and drink and drive coming home at 2 in the morning.
This allows for movement of the suspension and will prevent the tyres from failing when using the steering to full lock. Everyone has a right to peace and quiet. But anyways, its a noise and your going to complain over a little noise that last 10 seconds for a car or truck to pass by your house? Wheels and tyres Altering your wheels and tyres can greatly affect the handling of your car while driving. A few years ago now, it was running aftermarket exhaust, lowered suspension, engine modifications etc. Go to countries like Germany and you will find these laws are enforced and yet they still seem to have a lower rate of motorcycle related incidents than we do, could it be that they drive better? I am personally in favour of expanding foam!! Following the service of a legal notice an Abatement Notice councils have the power to seize the offender's vehicle and take prosecution proceedings.
Then we have the clowns whose stereo cost more than the car, and who think that by fitting a dustbin in place of their exhaust and wheezing their way up to 60mph are somehow impressing someone. It would seem to me this would make the most sense as people can run them loud during the day and quieten them down late at night. I can appriciate that unwanted noise is something that needs to be monitored. You will be breaking the law if you remove a silencer or make any modification that would make that vehicle emit a noise louder than the original exhaust before it was modified. You should be grouped together so you can kill each other via vehicle wrecks, and argue over who has the loudest tail pipes. I am now convinced that people who do that are sociopathic. He was questioning the modification scene.
It specifically states that an exhaust is illegal if it is modified in such a way as to increase the noise it produces. Why is it so hard for you to understand that people want quiet? But seriously, laws against nudity are just one example. Little boys like that, grow up to drive real trucks and annoy everyone with them. They have to draw the line somewhere with exhaust noise,the same way they do with curfews at airports for aircraft noise and large factories near to residential areas. It might require it in writing, but surely this becomes a civil issue.
From a quick Google it's the Road Vehicles Construction and Use Regulations 1986. And thank god heroin is banned. So stop your bitching and get over it!!!! Sometimes its better to opt for other things that can be proven. I recommend that if you have an issue with the car scene you visit slamber city on Facebook and maybe some of the members there can tell you that they think if your problems as there is a variety of opinions on there some for some against. I hate the loud muffler thing.
