Just like speed and red light cameras, it's another way to extort money from citizens. This should be banned by the state legislatures as this kind of crap is in some states.

That said, I almost always have my Sport mode on but keep it reasonable around other people...usually. It doesn't impress mature people in their right minds.

Now why can't they develop this for the big trucks that use their jake brakes to slow down for a street light up the street from me and it's flat road.

Sounds like something that will only infect democrat run cities where I spend 0 percent of my time or disposable income.

Unreal. I guess companies like Escort, V1 and Uniden will have to update their detector databases with exhaust decibel locations to help us stay quiet when need be....

Yep.
For a while we had a trucker driving an 18 wheeler jake braking all over town. I had no idea what a jake brake was until one day the UPS guy was dropping a package off at my house and he explained it to me... I haven't heard it in a while so I guess he moved on.

States that have a large deficit would be the ones for this money grab. One can only guess which ones. AZ takes care of more important things than alittle noise in the desert. Loud and great(no obnoxious)sounding exhaust are sweet to my ears.

You must have forgotten about all the speed cameras we had a few years back. And the ones that are making a return. There is no city that's above a good cash grab.

lol that shit won’t be coming to Texas anytime soon.

I live out in the country north of DFW and I can do pretty much whatever I want out here.

Rhode Island smh - Reminds me of the movie Me, Myself, and Irene.

“I’m about to Free Willy right now!!!”

@ AZ_ryan Look who is at the top running the show. I laughed at speeders that blew by on 60. Cameras were easy to evade knowing the limit trip point. School zone speeders I have zero sympathy.

The city of Scottsdale is most certainly not liberal if that's what you're getting at. Neither was the governor when they were lined up all over the 101 a few years ago.

You never know! Lots of CA folks moving to TX. Happened with us massholes moving to NH. It's a communicable disease....

It’s crazy. Worries us too.

“Hey I hate my state so I’m going to come someplace better and ruin it by voting for the same shit that fucked up the place I’m leaving”

Yeah, you would be surprised how much of a PITA it is living next to a guy living out his youth in an open header Mustang. I had a neighbor doing just such an experience, “Loud Pipes Paul”. Really great guy, family man, paid his bills on time, responsible taxpayer, but in the neighborhood, he couldn’t resist the open header 6k rpm rev at all hours of the day and night. Hell, he was worse than the damn medevac helicopter at 3 am. He just had zero filter and zero concept of not pi$$ing off the neighbors.

Texas isn’t immune bro, just like every other state. More people moved here than I think any other state post C*vid. Guess what they brought with them ! If you guessed their political beliefs and proclivities along with their penchant for government control, you guessed right.

Will it change now, tomorrow, next month or next year? No. Next 5 years? thought to say. 10-20 years? Take a hard look at what happened in Virginia; a formerly hard red state invaded by fleeing New Yorkers stuffing every density housing area in Northern Virginia. It went from solidly red to solidly blue in less than 20 years. You know what one of their new pet peeves was?

Noise ordinances. First they tried to go after motorcycles only, and then they tried for dB limits just like this. I left in 2020 before that got much traction, but there’s a cautionary tale here.

One Independence Day celebration I haul my MIL down to the city for fireworks, the last time she was able to go. She was in a wheel chair so I took her to handicapped, garage parking. I wheeled her probably 1.5 miles to the park so she could see the show, and back. We’re in the garage on the way to the car, walking next to a family with a young girl - probably pre-k.
Some guy on a Harley with open pipes starts his bike- no big deal there but then he proceeds to wind the throttle up a few times. We’re talking ear splitting loud. The girl covers her ears and bursts into tears. Mom is trying to console her, dad wants to club the dude with a lead pipe.
After about 1 minute of his personal show he leaves to middle fingers from probably a dozen people. The girl was still crying when dad helped her into the car. <-- THIS is how you make political enemies that will act against you.

Indiscriminate showing off your exhaust is retàrded, results in stupid laws like this and costs us all in the end. “They" will absolutely do it “here” wherever “here” is. “They” will do it quietly during business hours while regular folks are at work, completely unaware their elected officials just went all tyrant on them and once it’s passed, it’s near impossible to get repealed.

so if you think it won’t come to your neck of the woods, you may be correct for now. But one day, you won’t be.
