In reply to the discussion: Are modified exhaust systems on cars these days louder than Cape Canaveral or is it just me? [View all]JanMichael
(25,725 posts)21. That is definitely not the majority of loud assed cars here.
They're basically auto-tune exhaust systems on Hondas Toyotas and some other smaller cars usually hatchbacks but often times even sedans. The paint the tires the wheels are all part of an act as well as the noise. They're not poor people that lost their catalytic converters.
It's like glass packs times 50. I'm sure if in 1980 or 85 when I was an idiot I would have done the same thing and not just try to get some glass packs.
What are people to do? Maybe turn off the damn exhaust noise controller.

As if blasting the sound of your engine doesn't "inject themselves" in others

My little beach town in Southern California is strictly enforcing noise laws against those idiots.

Sounds like someone stole their catalytic converters. I absolutely hate the fartmobiles.

Do you have a modified exhaust system, enjoy pissing off the neighbors and setting off car alarms?
